RALEIGH -- State Sen. Fletcher Hartsell is scheduled to appear in superior court Tuesday.
He was indicted last month by a Wake County grand jury on three felony counts of filing false reports to the State Board of Elections.
Hartsell is accused of using campaign money for himself and falsely labeling it as reimbursement for campaign expenses. He is a 13-term Republican who represents Cabarrus and Union counties, and announced last year he is not seeking re-election.
A federal investigation is ongoing.
