Wayne Hegefeld and Matthew Martinez were co-owners of a successful flooring company in Houston. Out of the blue, Wayne starts becoming suspicious and paranoid, accusing employees of theft and verbally attacking other workers at the company. It came to a head in October 2011, when he went on a "inner office tirade" screaming and yelling at Matthew. It got so bad, according to Matthew's lawsuit, that Wayne threw a hat rack at Matthew. Wayne also threatened Matthew with a golf club.
It only took a month after that tantrum (!) for the two to decide to go their separate ways. Not surprisingly, Wayne is refusing to cooperate in that and is making accusations of theft, is stealing property, slandering Matthew, and refusing to write checks for the company's continued operations. He even went so far as to hire a forensic accountant to confirm that Matthew was stealing from the company; unfortunately for Wayne, the results didn't come out the way he wanted.
Cause No. 2012-29791; Martinez v. Hegefeld; In the 125th Judicial District Court, Harris County, Texas
