Summary
LaKesha Womack, who unseated Rep. Tim Moore by 51.1% to 48.9% in North Carolina's 14th District, is due in court Nov. 10 on a pending felony charge.
The charge alleges she failed to return a rental vehicle valued at $20,000 in 2019; a criminal summons issued in January 2020 was not served until Oct. 11, 2026.
Womack has said she did not return the car on time while experiencing homelessness and did not know a criminal case had been filed; after the election, she declined further comment.
Under North Carolina law, the Class H felony can carry more than two years in prison, and House rules could require her to step aside from committee or leadership posts once she takes office in January.
