NASHVILLE, Tenn.: Browns owner Jimmy Haslam was not one of eight people indicted in a conspiracy to defraud customers of his Pilot Flying J truck stop chain.
The former president of the truck stop chain, which is co-owned by Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to participating in a conspiracy to defraud customers.
Pilot Flying J President Mark Hazelwood left Pilot in 2014, a year after the FBI raided the company’s Knoxville headquarters.
A federal indictment unsealed on Tuesday accuses Hazelwood and seven other former employees of participating in a scheme to cheat customers out of promised rebates and discounts.
