Court Documents obtained by The Daily Caller show that Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), early in her legal career, had some bizarre legal issues after renting a car with a felon who was convicted of robbery and drug charges, as well as arrested and charged several other times.
The apparent friend of Crockett, Soweto Hoilett of Texas, was accused of robbing three people in 1998 and pleaded guilty to two of the robberies, one being first-degree felony robbery, in February and September, according to court documents uncovered by the Daily Caller.
After serving five years behind bars, Hoilett was slapped with a drug possession charge in June 2005, which he pled guilty to in exchange for dropping an obstructing an officer charge, and was only sentenced to probation.
According to a lawsuit from Budget Rent a Car, Crockett rented a car with Hoilett on August 9. The rental company later sued her for refusing to pay after Hoilett, an unauthorized driver, crashed the car and totaled it.
One month after the pair rented the car, Hoilett was arrested and charged in September 2006 for an August 27, 2006, incident, where he ultimately pleaded guilty to resisting arrest and served 120 days in jail.
