West Warren legal battle leads to heated exchange
Placeholder Image
A legal battle between West Warren-Viola Utility District and the Jarrell family of Coffee County didn’t come to an end last week, but it temporarily included a heated exchange between representatives from the two. The county’s Economic and Agricultural Development Committee met Thursday to consider a resolution to address “any perceived conflict of interest” on behalf of Warren County, West Warren-Viola Utility District, or James C. Hailey and Company in regard to the Community Development Block Grant Funds and publically acknowledge a known family relationship between the three. By the information, utility district general manager Tim Pelham is the father of Hailey’s employee Anthony Pelham.
