5. As the article indicates, he was convicted in federal court - UPDATE

He previously was sentenced to 9 years in prison on state drug and gun charges. I haven't been able to determine the status of his imprisonment on those charges. While Trump cannot pardon or commute that sentence, the governor probably can and will, if she hasn't already.

UPDATE: Since Womack was sentenced to 9 years in 2019 but was not in prison when he was arrested on federal charges in 2022, presumably something or someone intervened that resulted in his release from, or not having to serve, his state crime sentence.
