e sun shines bright Bank sued by former managerBy TODD KLEFFMAN
tkleffman@amnews.com
STANFORD — A formeremployee of PBK Bank hasfiled a lawsuit against thebank alleging that bank offi-cials conspired to make himthe fall guy for their badbanking decisions.
David Woodall, formermanager of the PBK branchin Mount Vernon, filed thecomplaint last week in Lin-coln Circuit Court. Amongthe defendants are PBKpresident Jack Johnson,CEO Bruce Edgington, sec-retary Stanley Buris, CFOJoye Hunt and several mem-bers of the bank’s board ofdirectors. Also named isRalph Weikel, of Perform-ance Management, an out-side firm that was called into review the bank’s prac-tices.
Neither PBK nor any of
the other defendants haveyet responded to the allega-tions in the complaint.
According to the lawsuit,Woodall worked at the bankfrom 2004 until he was ter-minated in March of lastyear. He was fired, the com-plaint states, because hecomplained to the boardthat he believed “co-workerswere falsifying reports, omit-ting reports, altering his re-ports and other reports, andchanging minutes of meet-ings.”
Edgington told Woodallthat Hunt had lied aboutWoodall to Weikel, who wasreviewing the bank’s prac-tices. e complaint also al-leges Edgington and Weikelconspired with other bankofficials “to shift blame forbad banking practices fromEdgington to Woodall.”
Woodall’s attorney, JerryCox of Mount Vernon, de-
clined on ursday to elab-orate on the alleged “badbanking practices” or anyother specifics of the caseuntil after the defendantshave filed their responses.
e lawsuit alleges thatWoodall was the subject ofharrassment and retaliation,including being demotedand ultimately being fired,because he complainedabout the improper prac-tices at the bank.
He also suffered emo-tional stress and embarras-ment. He has lost wages andhealth insurance, and is nolonger able to work in thebanking industry, the com-plaint states.
e lawsuit seeks an un-specified amount of com-pensatory and punitivedamages against the bankand the defendants in theirofficial and individual ca-pacities.
Perryville to punish passive pet ownersBy JOANNA KING
jking@amnews.com
Be warned, residents ofand visitors to Perryville,Chief Charlie Parks has anordinance, and he is notafraid to use it.
Discussed in the regularsession meeting of the CityCouncil was the growingproblem of pet owners whowalk their dogs downtownbut don’t clean up the excre-ment the dogs leave behind.Mayor Anne Sleet proposedan ordinance that wouldallow police to issue a cita-tion and collect a $50 fine foreach occurrence.
Also considered wasamending some current or-dinances to save money andtime.
Parks performed an im-promptu search of existing
ordinances and found thatthe same one proposed al-ready is on the books.
Parks also asked to havepublished the following:
“e City of Perryville willbe strictly enforcing all cityordinances for tall grass;yards with excessive trash;blowing grass clippings intothe roadway; abandoned ve-hicles in yards or on streets;and any other violationsduring the grass cutting sea-son from April 1 throughOct. 1, so please keep youryards mowed and all unnec-essary trash picked up andall junk vehicles movedaway so we can keep our citybeautiful and clean. If youown property in Perryvilleand do not live here, pleasemake sure someone is tak-ing care of your property toavoid violations.”
Council also moved a fewsteps forward in a no-paycontract with Tim Simpsonas artist-in-residence. Simp-son already serves in thatrole but having the title in anofficial capacity would allowSimpson to apply for grantsand offset expenses for thefree services he already pro-vides.
Simpson is lobbying forthe third floor of the Com-munity Center, currentlyused as storage, as an artist’sstudio.
Drafting an agreementfree from any city liabilityand installing an additionalupstairs door to bring thespace into code complianceis expected to take less thantwo weeks. e councilagreed to this plan once thedetails have been ad-dressed.
