Tim Wheeler, who was fired as second-in-command to the Knox County Circuit Court clerk last April, has filed a lawsuit against his former boss, WBIR reports. Wheeler alleges that Cathy Quist-Shanks has at least one so-called ghost employee working for her. The suit, brought under the False Claims Act, was filed two months ago but only recently was unsealed. It claims that Quist-Shanks paid an employee who did no work. The clerk’s office declined to comment on the suit.
