Congressional Candidate Misses Court Date

Posted: Updated:

WILSON COUNTY, Tenn.- Congressional candidate Lou Ann Zelenik has a new legal battle on her hands.

The Republican was supposed to be in Wilson County court on July 12th. It was about a business venture with the Macon County Chronicle. But the day before, her attorney asked to reschedule because the meeting slipped Zelenik's mind and she was too busy campaigning.

The request was denied. Zelenik never showed up.

Now the attorneys for the newspaper have asked the judge to levy a criminal contempt charge against her. She's due back in court, this September.
