RALEIGH, N.C. -

Former state Rep. Cary Allred has been fined $500 for speeding on the interstate on the way to a session of the North Carolina Legislature.

A court clerk in Orange County said Thursday that Allred pleaded guilty to driving 102 mph in a 65 mph zone. The plea he agreed to Wednesday also required him to pay court costs of $130. A reckless driving count was dismissed.

The Alamance County Republican resigned in June following a probe into his conduct during a Monday night session of the House in April. On the way to Raleigh that day, a trooper stopped him near where Interstates 40 and 85 split in Orange County.

A trooper initially let Allred go with a warning, but he was cited four days later.
