RAINSVILLE, Ala.— State Rep. Todd Greeson says his office at Northeast Alabama Community College was visited by federal agents who subpoenaed co-workers in a probe of Alabama’s two-year college system.
Greeson, R-Ider, said some of his co-workers were given subpoenas to testify before a federal grand jury in Montgomery.
“They were asking (co-workers) if I worked,” Greeson told The Times-Journal of Fort Payne.
Contacted Tuesday at the Statehouse in Montgomery, Greeson denied earlier reports that the federal agents had taken his computer’s hard drive. He said the hard drive was taken by two-year college officials, but he did not know if it was taken as part of the federal investigation.
Greeson is an industrial recruiter at the college and is serving his third term in the Legislature. He was one of 13 lawmakers working in the two-year college system last year when Chancellor Bradley Byrne announced a policy to require legislators to quit one of the two jobs by 2010.
Greeson is one of two Republicans working in the two-year college system. The other is Rep. Blaine Galliher, R-Gadsden, who works at Gadsden State Community College. The others are all Democrats.
He said he was in Montgomery during a legislative session Thursday when the federal agents visited his office.
