The FBI and Internal Revenue Service locked down the headquarters of the West Knoxville, Tenn., company owned by Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam on Monday.
Haslam released a statement in an email to the Knoxville News Sentinel regarding the company, Pilot Flying J: “The FBI secured our headquarters today and informed us they are investigating Pilot Flying J. We will cooperate appropriately with any and all external investigations and conduct our own. I believe and trust there has been no wrongdoing. The integrity of our company always has been job No. 1.”
Haslam returned as CEO of the Pilot Flying J in February after stepping down to become the majority owner of the Browns last October.
