RALEIGH, N.C. — A Wake County grand jury has indicted North Carolina state auditor Beth Wood, WTVD reports.
Wood is accused of misusing her state-issued car, allegedly taking it to hair and dentist appointments while she was off the clock. The indictment also alleges she used it for spa outings and out-of-town shopping centers.
Now, she’s facing a misdemeanor for misuse of a state vehicle.
Earlier this year, Wood pleaded guilty to a separate misdemeanor related to a hit-and-run crash in her work car after a Christmas party last year.
Wood announced last week she doesn’t plan to seek reelection in 2024.
