Ex-Employee Sues Portland Car Dealership Alleging Covering Up COVID-19 Outbreak
A finance manager at a used car dealership in Portland was fired by his boss during a staff meeting for questioning the company’s alleged cover-up of a coronavirus cluster, a lawsuit claims.
Shawn McCrary, 41, of Portland, sued Lapin Motor Co. and owner Leo Lapin in a wrongful discharge and whistleblower suit this month, seeking $1.4 million in damages.
McCrary alleges Lapin berated, assaulted and fired him in an “alcohol and drug-induced rage” during an all-staff meeting on July 31.
