cleveland.com

Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam has been subpoenaed to appear in a videotaped deposition in a civil lawsuit against the Pilot Flying J truck-stop chain he and his family own. According to a court notice filed Friday in Franklin County, Haslam was served with a notice to appear at the deposition in Knoxville, Tennessee on December 13. The lawsuit was filed by companies that declined to participate in an 85 million dollar settlement between Knoxville-based Pilot and 55 hundred trucking companies in connection with a scheme to cheat customers out of promised discounts and rebates. The company also paid a 92 million dollar federal penalty. Haslam has denied knowing about the scheme. He is the brother of Republican Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam.
