Scooter Store not target of probe: CEO

The Scooter Store's CEO told furloughed employees that it isn't a target of the Justice Department probe that led to some 150 agents swarming the company's New Braunfels headquarters last month.

“The Department of Justice has informed our legal counsel that the company is not a target of this investigation and we will continue to cooperate with the government in their work,” CEO Martin “Marty” Landon said in an email sent to employees Sunday night.

The Scooter Store is one of the nation's largest suppliers of power wheelchairs and scooters.

Landon didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. His email didn't say whether any individuals at the company are being investigated.
