Merle Haggard Sues Environmental Group

The country music star Merle Haggard has sued an environmental group for forging his signature and exaggerating his involvement with the organization to solicit money, according to the Associated Press.

Mr. Haggard sued the organization Green Train last week. In the suit, he charges that the Nashville charity “greatly exaggerated” his support and personal involvement in its operations and that his reputation could be irreparably harmed by continued association with the group because of its shady business practices.

The charity did not respond to a call for comment from the Associated Press.
