Former GM worker says he lied
The Associated Press
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. A former worker at General Motors' Corvette plant said Friday he lied to an undercover investigator when they discussed marijuana.
Robert Love, 62, and seven other former employees are suing GM and Aset Corp., an investigations company from Dayton, Ohio, for $120 million, contending their privacy was invaded when investigator Tonya Bradford taped their conversations.
The plaintiffs were fired when they were arrested in 1998 following a 16-month investigation by Mrs. Bradford, Aset and GM. Charges were later dismissed.
Mr. Love testified that although he was lying to Mrs. Bradford, he did give her two marijuana cigarettes when asked to do so by a co-worker.
Mrs. Bradford was a snake, Mr. Love said. I lied to her like she was lying to me.
The trial in the former workers' lawsuit began Wednesday in U.S. District Court and is expected to continue through next week.
Another plaintiff, Tessie Amos, 55, testified Friday that he gave Mrs. Bradford prescription painkillers and two marijuana cigarettes without exchanging money.
