NFL great Emmitt Smith, business partners sued by Cherokee group

Kituwah LLC says the loan funded a solar farm that never started and seeks repayment, interest and damages from Smith and David Mosley.

  • Kituwah LLC, the investment arm of the Band of Cherokee, is suing former Dallas Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith for $2.5 million over an alleged unpaid loan dating back two years.
