An Alabama state representative was arrested Tuesday morning on criminal charges.

State Rep. Kelvin Jamichael Lawrence, 50, of Lowndes County, is charged with second-degree forgery and second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall announced.

The indictment, which has not yet been made public, accuses Lawrence of using a falsely made, completed, or altered builder’s license with the intent to defraud. No additional details were released.

Both crimes are Class C felonies, punishable by a prison sentence ranging from one year and one day to 10 years.

Lawrence declined to comment when asked by AL.com about the arrest. Lawrence said he plans to issue a statement through his lawyer later on.

Marshall said the case is being prosecuted by the Special Prosecutions Division.

“I expect members of the Alabama House of Representatives to hold themselves to the highest standard of integrity in both their personal and professional lives,” House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter said in a statement issued Tuesday morning.

“Rep. Kelvin Lawrence’s indictment presents an unfortunate situation for his constituents and colleagues alike. I have full confidence in our justice system’s ability to assess the facts of this case and determine an appropriate course of action.”

Lawrence, a Democrat, was first elected to the Alabama House of Representatives in 2014 and was previously the mayor of Hayneville. He represents District 69 which includes Lowndes County and parts of Autauga, Montgomery, and Wilcox counties.
