Attorney Christie Knowles on Thursday in a social media post struck back at Gadsden Mayor Sherman Guyton s comments during Tuesday s City Council meeting.
Knowles said Guyton essentially accused her or her law firm of using a computer to steal confidential documents linked to a proposed Pilgrim s Pride rendering plant in Gadsden.
It s not true, she said in a Facebook post, and insisted the mayor knows that.
Guyton used the mayor/council comments time at the meeting to question where Knowles firm got what s been described as a Memorandum of Understanding from Guyton to Pilgrim s Pride.
City Attorney Lee Roberts, in response to Knowles post, denied that Guyton accused the attorney or her firm of theft, but repeated the mayor s question as to how she obtained what Roberts described as stolen documents.
