In 1995, Stockman admitted jail time, felony charge. Today he denies that, files libel lawsuit.
WASHINGTON – Tonight, Rep. Steve Stockman accused a group that supports Sen. John Cornyn of lying about him, by asserting that he had been “jailed more than once” and was “charged with a felony.”
That is strange, because Stockman has admitted to these facts, several times.
“I may have been in jail a couple of times, two or three times,” he told this newspaper (referring to the Houston Chronicle).

On Friday, Stockman, R-Clear Lake, announced that he has filed a libel lawsuit in Houston against Texans for a Conservative Majority, a political action committee funded and run by Cornyn supporters. Its website, ShadyStockman.com, includes a line from a Jan. 15, 2013, Washington Post story: “He has been jailed more than once, and was charge with a felony after one such incident when authorities found Valium in his pants.”
