The investigation into allegations against a local Prineville car salesman, Michael Smetzer Jr. and his company Central Oregon Motors, has been taken over by the FBI.
Law enforcement and DMV investigations into Prineville-based Central Oregon Motors, LLC, have been revealed following an initial story first reported by the Prineville Review last month as well as a report last week by KTVZ's Matthew Draxton.
The former executive director of a Prineville-based non-profit has filed a lawsuit against the organization for breach of contract and retaliation as a whistleblower, according to court documents.
