Court records show Acton was cited in May 1993 for driving under suspension, a first-degree misdemeanor, and the officer listed an FRA (insurance) suspension, so a suspension and a related misdemeanor charge existed.
What was said
… If they were removed from custody, there should be a document record about the entire matter. Yes, and from what I'm gathering, and again, I'm just going surface level off comments and stuff, there's been a lot of other cases where this woman has lied. She lied about her driver's license being suspended, said it was just because she forgot, and, you know, turns out it was from a misdemeanor incident that she had, that her license was suspended, and she had gotten some more stuff. Like, there's a whole bunch of shit on this, and, you know, hit for tat, whatever the case might be. I don't know, but yeah, that's crazy. …
Badlands Media · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. The same reports say Acton pleaded guilty two weeks later to driving with an expired license, a minor misdemeanor, and that the sticker charge was dismissed, which undercuts the claim that the suspension itself produced the misdemeanor conviction.[1][2]
Supports. Court records cited by the Dispatch show Acton was cited on May 6, 1993 for driving under suspension, a first-degree misdemeanor, with the officer listing it as an FRA suspension.[1][2]
Context. The suspension was an FRA suspension tied to failing to prove valid insurance, so the misdemeanor was driving under that suspension rather than the suspension being caused by a misdemeanor.[1]
Context. Laura Loomer and the Ohio GOP claim the conviction was a first-degree misdemeanor for driving on a suspended license, while Acton says she only forgot to renew an expired license; these partisan accounts are not independent of the claim.[3][4][5][6]
