KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Two Pilot Flying J employees entered guilty pleas Monday, adding to the five people who've already admitted to their roles in an alleged plot to cheat trucking company customers out of rebates.
Federal prosecutors are continuing their investigation into the family company of Browns Owner Jimmy Haslam.
Janet Welch, a senior account manager in Knoxville, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit a federal criminal offense.
Welch admitted to conspiring with other employees to commit mail fraud, lowering the rebate amounts due to trucking companies.
Welch could face up to five years in prison.
Michael Scott Fenwick, a western regional sales manager who is based in Salt Lake City, Utah, also appeared in U.S. District Court in Knoxville.
He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit a federal criminal offense.
Five other employees have entered guilty pleas to fraud and other charges, agreeing to cooperate with prosecutors in their case.
Fenwick's plea agreement says he worked closely with Ashley Judd in the scheme.
Judd and Regional Sales Director Arnold Ralenkotter pleaded guilty in May.
Holly Radford, Jay Stinnett and Kevin Clark entered pleas in June.
Fenwick and Clark both worked under Vincent Greco, a regional sales director who has been identified as a confidential informant for federal authorities.
Pilot Flying J faces nearly 20 civil lawsuits following the FBI's raid of the company headquarters in April. The company offered a settlement in a class action lawsuit earlier this month.
