Former North Carolina Representative Madison Cawthorn pleaded guilty on Friday to a third-degree misdemeanor charge for bringing a loaded gun into Charlotte Douglas International Airport, WSOCTV reports.
The former congressman's guilty plea halted a trial set to begin Friday after being delayed in January, resulting in his sentence to pay a $250 fine. Prosecutors reportedly asked to confiscate the weapon, but the judge rejected the request on the grounds that the city ordinance does not grant that power.
