Paper: “Brewery owner has criminal past”

The old Miller beer plant in Tumwater (a/k/a the Olympia beer plant in Tumwater) has been under  new ownership.  That new ownerhip has been looking to launch a bottled water factory at the site.  Comes now the fairly explosive news, according to the Olympian, that the new owner is not what he appeared to be.  The headline summarizes its investigation:  "Brewery owner has criminal past."  At least one general contractor and several engineering firms are owed substantial sums of money for work performed to date, according to documents available at the newspaper’s website.
