Raleigh City Council (Update) Lent Carr, would-be preacher and City Council member, sent back to prison
Posted by Bob Geary @rjgeary on Thu, Aug 18, 2011 at 3:49 PM
(Update, 8/18): Poor Mr. Carr is officially off the ballot and in hot water for registering to vote while he was still on probation. The N&O was at the Wake Board of Elections today.
The original post from a week ago:
This really is more sad than anything. Lent Carr can sound quite rational, but he's obviously got some serious issues. Carr was on the ballot to run for City Council in District C. A judge waylaid those plans and sent him to prison for violating his parole.
WRAL did some reporting on him, but credit goes first to the anonymous author of BelowtheBeltline.org, who told the truth about Carr's inability to tell the truth back in January.
