FRONT PAGE: DC Insider Michael “Whatley Faced Arrest In 2015”

North Carolinians are reading all about DC insider Michael Whatley’s decades-long criminal history and reckless behavior that put North Carolina families at risk. 

Asheville Citizen Times: 

National Journal Hotline: “NC SEN: Former RNC Chairman Michael Whatley’s traffic offenses are coming under scrutiny as he centers his campaign on tackling crime in the state. “According to court records in 14 different traffic cases reviewed by NC Newsline from North Carolina and Virginia, Whatley has repeatedly avoided facing the law, failing to appear in court in four North Carolina traffic cases and being found guilty in absentia in four traffic cases in Virginia.” (NC Newsline)” 

The Assembly: “Republican U.S. Senate candidate Michael Whatley failed to appear in court in four North Carolina traffic cases and was found guilty in absentia in four cases in Virginia (NC Newsline).”

Whatley has had two separate orders issued for his arrest after driving dangerously and repeatedly failing to appear in court. Whatley’s rap sheet also includes a dozen more charges for speeding, dangerous driving, and more across North Carolina and Virginia.
