Topeka businessman Kent D. Lindemuth took the witness stand Tuesday to deny he threatened to shoot an Oklahoma trucking firm owner during a dispute over a trailer and cargo valued at more than $500,000 in October 2014.
Lindemuth is charged with two counts of making a criminal threat to Mike Matthews on Oct. 17, 2014, according to court records. Tuesday is the second day of a two-day jury trial in Shawnee County District Court.
