http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/2014/01/in-1995-stockman-admitted-jail-time-felony-charge-today-he-denies-that-accusing-cornyn-allies-of-lying.html/

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.

As for the felony charge, that
stemmed from the time his girlfriend hid three Valium tablets in his underpants when
he was reporting for a weekend in jail. “When they found that they charged me with a felony,”
he told the Houston Chronicle.

Those interviews were back in 1995, during Stockman’s first two-year stint in Congress.

Ok, I have to know. 1) Why would Person A put 3 Valium's in Person B's underpants, 2) how did Person B not know about them and 3) how did the pills manage to stay in the underpants for an extended period of time without falling out? Hmm, maybe I don't need to know that last one.

Did he also violate federal ethics law at some point?
