Madison Cawthorn Named Honorary Sheriff’s Deputy in Florida
Madison Cawthorn, private citizen and disgraced former North Carolina congressman, was sworn in as an honorary sheriff’s deputy in southwest Florida last week, a distinction apparently bestowed in spite of his spotty record with law enforcement.
The 28-year-old, who was cited in April for rear-ending a Florida Highway Patrol cruiser, posted a series of photos posing with his honorary badge on Instagram on Thursday.
“Such an honor from [Lee County Sheriff] Carmine Marceno to be sworn in as an honorary deputy in the county that I live in,” he wrote in the caption.
