Marie Holmes, the North Carolina mom who won a $188 million Powerball
lottery jackpot last year and has spent millions bailing her boyfriend
out of jail, now has legal challenges of her own.
Holmes, 26, was served a criminal summons last week on charges of making
threatening and harassing phone calls to a woman named Lorna Marlowe.
The phone calls allegedly occurred on Jan. 10, and Marlowe filed a complaint the same day.
Holmes, a former McDonald’s and big box employee, is set to appear in
court in North Carolina’s Brunswick County on Feb. 12. A warrant could
be issued for her arrest if she fails to appear at the hearing.
MyFox8 reports that the summons alleges “Holmes threatened to inflict
bodily harm on Marlowe and repeatedly called her for the purpose of
harassing her.”
After winning the lottery last year, Holmes has become almost a mainstay
in the headlines thanks to her efforts to support her boyfriend, Lamarr
McDow, the father of her youngest child. He recently spoke to The Daily
Mail about Holmes and why she has no qualms with spending millions to
bail him out of jail. McDow is an alleged heroin dealer who has been
arrested on charges of illegal drug possession and illegal street
racing.
