CHARLOTTE — Former Charlotte City Councilwoman Tiawana Brown is expected to appear in federal court on Monday.

It happened before she was elected. And she admitted she used part of the money on a lavish 50th birthday party for herself.
She said she will receive probation as part of the deal.
However, the judge will have the ultimate decision on accepting the plea deal and determining the sentence.
Brown was previously convicted of fraud decades ago and spent years in prison for it.
