Judge Bell Sentences Ex-Charlotte Councilwoman Tiawana Brown to 10 Months for Pandemic Loan Fraud

Former Charlotte City Council member Tiawana Brown was sentenced to 10 months in federal prison on September 22, 2026, for wire fraud conspiracy. She and her two daughters defrauded the Small Business Administration of approximately $146,665 in pandemic relief funds between 2020 and 2021. While Brown faced incarceration, her daughters received probation and home detention. The sentencing hearing was marked by a dispute over sentencing guidelines and Brown’s public refusal of a delayed sentence to allow her to graduate from college.
