Fontella Marie Holmes won $188 million in the Powerball jackpot in Feb. 2015.
Lamar McDow, 36, filed his first complaint against Holmes in Brunswick County Superior Court asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, and breach of bailment on Oct. 19, 2018, according to a motion to dismiss filed by Holmes. That complaint was voluntarily dismissed by McDow on June 25, 2019.
McDow tried to revive the same complaint almost a year and a half later when he filed a second complaint against Holmes on Sept. 29, claiming she allegedly gave away personal property that he owned while he is incarcerated.
Holmes filed a notice of removal on Feb. 4 and a motion to dismiss Lamar McDow s claims on Feb. 11.
