The next court date for a suspended Cape Coral councilwoman who stands accused of lying about where she lived has been set.

Patty Cummings had a case management hearing Tuesday and will have another on June 25, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. Prosecutors charged Cummings with three third-degree felonies.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended her from her District 4 council seat in November, which has since been filled.

Former law enforcement officer Richard Carr was appointed by council members to the vacant District 4 seat during a December 13, 2023, meeting.
