Cawthorn Charged With Driving While License Revoked

The Charlotte Observer reports:

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol charged U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn last week with driving while his license was revoked. Cawthorn faces the charge after a traffic stop in Cleveland County on March 3, according to Sgt. Chris Knox, a patrol spokesman.

Around 10:26 p.m., a trooper saw a 2019 Toyota drive left of center on U.S. 74B and pulled the vehicle over, Knox said in a written statement to McClatchy.

Court records showed that this is the second time Cawthorn has been issued the charge of driving with a revoked license. The first, in 2017, was later dismissed. Knox said Cawthorn faces two additional charges of speeding, both brought by the patrol.
