Montgomery businessman and non-profit owner Charles Lee has spoken to WAKA 8 about the claim by Mayor Steven Reed that Lee tried to extort money from the city. alnews montgomeryal alabamanewsnetwork
Reed made the accusation at a news conference Tuesday afternoon against Lee, who owns the That’s My Dog hot dog business and the That’s My Child non-profit for children. Reed said Lee is a “shyster, hustler and liar.”Reed said that in 2020, after the murder of George Floyd and the unrest that was happening in cities nationwide, he turned to community leaders, including Lee, to get their help in preventing violence from breaking out in Montgomery.
“The only reason I came here is because I saw a press conference today saying that I supposed to be getting charges and for $30,000, and I’ve never heard none of this stuff before in my life, and I don’t know how after what three years or whatever now, that’s some tapes leaking now, you feel like I’m gonna charge Charles with whatever, cause if I broke the law then, and you are the mayor would, you know. But I’m done talking, and I would never shake nobody down for no $30,000. I’m from Chicago.
