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.
Womack, who is in his late 30s, also has a felony case pending in Washington County Circuit Court in Fayetteville on state charges of felony fleeing from police, second-degree criminal mischief and possessing drug paraphernalia — specifically, heroin, meth, cocaine and fentanyl.
