The defendants in a lawsuit brought by former CEO of Tri-County Electric Darryl Schriver have asked the judge to dismiss his suit against the power company or require that Schriver amend it by providing specific evidence for each cause of action against the defendants, according to Parker County court records.
Schriver, who was terminated from his position July 28 after a “review of information” by the company’s board of directors, filed a lawsuit in Parker County on Sept. 25. He is suing Tri-County Electric Cooperative, board members J. Max Waddell, John Killough, Margaret Koprek, Kevin Ingle, Jorden Wood, Jerry Walden, Steve Harris, Sommer Portwood, Michael Siversten and Chief Financial Officer Melissa Watts.
The lawsuit alleges the board defamed Schriver and conspired to fire him because he wouldn’t participate in “illegal” activities. In a counter claim, one of the defendants alleges that Schriver misused a company credit card for personal expenses and forged a document to pay himself a bonus.
Schriver had served as the power company’s president/CEO since 2017 and worked in the electric co-op industry for more than 20 years, according to the lawsuit. He received excellent performance evaluations during his time at Tri-County and was promised a multi-million dollar pension if he would stay with the company until 2029, the suit says.
“There has never been a hint or whisper of any misconduct by Schriver,” the lawsuit states.
