SUMMARY: Don Mangum appeared in court for the third time regarding charges of attempting to fraudulently acquire Craig Adams’ Raleigh home by filing a warranty deed. After bonding out of jail, Mangum did not comment during the proceedings. Adams discovered the deed when property management inquired about a sale. He believes Mangum intended to squat in the home. Mangum initially claimed the home was in foreclosure, but later ceased paperwork upon learning it wasn’t. Adams has filed a civil suit against her for fraud and is advocating for legislative measures to prevent similar incidents. His next court date is in January.

The woman accused of getting the deed to a multimillion-dollar north Raleigh home in her name, despite not owning it, was back in court Monday.

The issue has raised concerns about the integrity and timeliness of the electoral process in the state.
