Travis Fain, WRAL — Former state Rep. David Lewis got two years on supervised release and a $1,000 fine, but no prison time, from a federal judge Tuesday for using his campaign fundraising operation as cash flow at his farm. Lewis, R-Harnett, resigned last year and pleaded guilty to lying to his bank and failing to file a tax return after federal investigators discovered he took hundreds of thousands of dollars out of his campaign accounts for personal use, hiding the transactions at one point by making them look like payments to the North Carolina Republican Party.
