Son of Northwest Arkansas congressman sentenced to prison in drug case

Last edited Sat Jun 15, 2024, 10:52 AM - Edit history (1)

Hunter Biden is not the only son of a national political figure convicted recently of a felony. Just last month, Arkansas Congressman Steve Womack‘s son James Phillip Womack was sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to distributing methamphetamine.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Brooks also sentenced Womack to five years of supervised release after his prison term and fined him $1,900.

Brooks sentenced James Womack on May 24 after Womack reached an agreement in which he pleaded guilty to the meth charge filed in 2023. A firearms violation was dismissed. According to the allegation, Womack possessed a multi-caliber rifle even though he was already a convicted felon.

Indeed, this wasn’t Womack’s first bout with the law. In 2019, Womack was sentenced to nine years in a state prison on felony drug and gun charges. And in 2010, Womack reached a plea deal in another meth case but managed to avoid a 10-year sentence.

I think I'll drop Womack a line. He was my Congressman until I left Arkansas and I emailed him weekly. sinkingfeeling Jun 2024 #2

and I'm headed out instead to the Farmer's Market. But I was wondering. Here's a puzzle piece that doesn't fit the pattern I was talking about a few days ago. Besides being drug related (and probably downright mean, since he is an R), what made him so easy for the other R's to give him up, I wonder? Usually they make some excuse.
