A North Carolina prosecutor says State Auditor Beth Wood has been indicted on a misdemeanor charge of misusing a state vehicle that she took to hair and dental appointments outside of her official duties.
FILE - North Carolina State Auditor Beth Wood makes an appearance in Wake County Court, March 23, 2023, in Raleigh, N.C. On Wednesday, Nov. 1, Wood, who received unwanted attention earlier this year after a traffic-related court plea, announced that she won’t seek reelection in 2024 after all. RALEIGH, N.C.
“I purposely overpaid for my commuting miles to make certain it covered any personal use over and above commuting,” she said. Wood, a Democrat who was first elected as auditor in 2008, pleaded guilty in March to a misdemeanor for leaving the scene of a December 2022 crash in which she drove her state-owned vehicle into a parked car. A judge sentenced her to pay fines and court costs.
