Former Rep. Madison Cawthorn Arrested in Florida
- Former North Carolina Representative Madison Cawthorn was taken into custody on September 10, 2025, in Cape Coral, Florida, after missing a scheduled court appearance.
- The arrest followed a warrant from Collier County for missing a court appearance on a charge of driving with a suspended license, stemming from an August citation in Naples.
- Cawthorn served from 2021 to 2023 representing North Carolina's 11th district, moved to Florida after losing his 2022 GOP primary, and faced multiple prior legal troubles including speeding tickets and a 2022 revoked license charge.

- This arrest adds to Cawthorn's existing legal issues amid his efforts for a political return in Florida following a tumultuous congressional term.
