Former Utah Jazz forward Karl Malone has been sued by his former business partner, Sidney Ray Davis of Soda Springs. Davis claims that Malone offered him a $25,000 bribe to take the blame for an illegal elk hunting trip.
He also alleges that Malone's brother-in-law threatened violence if Davis did not cooperate.
Malone's lawyer denied that the player attempted bribery or intimidation and on Aug. 21, Malone's attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the case in Idaho's 6th District court. A ruling is expected later this month.
The allegations are related to the investigation into a 1998 hunting trip Malone took with Davis, who was a licensed outfitter at the time. Davis did not have a elk tag for Malone.
Malone was interviewed by Fish and Game officials, but never charged in the case.
