ROGERS, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — U.S. Rep. Steve Womack’s (R-AR Dist. 3) son was arrested in Rogers on July 6 for possession of meth.

According to an affidavit, police were asked to assist with a probation home visit on E. Woodridge Lane in Rogers. When police arrived, they found James Womack, 34, in a downstairs bedroom of the home.


The affidavit report says Womack tried to sit on a zipper-style glasses case when police met with him. The case contained an orange cylinder shape container and suspected methamphetamine inside the container.

Inside the glasses case, police found multiple syringes, a small glass vile with suspected meth inside of it, a metal spoon, and another empty baggie with suspected meth residue, according to the affidavit.

1. Nothing to be ashamed of here, UNLESS the congressman wants special treatment for

his family while on the record of wanting to lock addicts up and throw away the key?

I have no idea who this is so I dont know.

2. This is my Congressman's son. He was sentenced to nine years in 2019 on similar charges,

but was released in 2020 due to Covid.

Womack was previously sentenced in April 2019 to nine years in prison after pleading guilty to five felony charges for drugs and guns.

The sentencing involved one case from June 2018 which involved two counts of possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia and one from September 2018 which involved three counts of drugs, drug paraphernalia and firearm possession, according to court documents.

In May 2020, Womack was placed on the Arkansas Department of Correction’s (ADC) list of inmates being considered for early release in connection to COVID-19. Inmates considered for early release must not have committed crimes that were sexual and/or violent, according to ADC.

3. When I saw the headline, I knew instantly

that it was Womack. He is a terrible man and meth is the drug of the hopeless. I can only hope this gives Natalie James a leg up.

5. His son is 34 years old. Way past time to grow up

When does the guy’s personal responsibility trump a parent’s responsibility?

4. There is a restaurant just off the square in Rogers.

It was recommended to me by an acquaintance. They told me Steve Womack ate there regularly. I said that was a real good reason NOT to eat there.
