The misdemeanor carries a sentence of up to 20 days in jail.
Representative Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) is potentially facing 20 days in jail after being charged for allegedly driving on a revoked license. News of the charge was first reported on Wednesday and stems from an incident that allegedly took place on March 3 in Cawthorn’s home state, according to law enforcement records. Cawthorn was pulled over by a state highway patrol officer after his Toyota truck was seen crossing the center line of traffic in Cleveland County, law enforcement said. „The driver was identified as David Madison Cawthorn,26 years old of Hendersonville, N.C.,“ said State Highway Patrol Spokesperson Sergeant Marcus Bethea in a statement. „During the course of the investigation it was determined that the driver’s license was in a state of revocation and he was subsequently charged with driving while license revoked.“ The trooper who pulled over Cawthorn described the congressman as „polite and cooperative“ during the traffic stop.
