Another complaint filed in land deal involving ‘Beverly Hillbillies’ star

By Reno Gazette-Journal

Attorneys representing former “Beverly Hillbillies” actor Max Baer Jr. filed an amended complaint Thursday alleging that two Carson City car dealers and a former associate defrauded him out of $7 million in a land deal for a proposed casino in Carson City.

The complaint filed in Douglas District Court alleges that Carson City car dealers Michael Hohl and A.M. “Dink” Cryer, along with their former associate Jay Timon, lied to Baer about several aspects of the multimillion dollar land deal in 2007.

Representatives for Timon, Hohl and Cryer could not be reached for comment on Thursday. The RGJ left after-hours messages for the three.

The complaint would be the fifth legal case to originate from the land deal, including a lawsuit that was filed by Douglas County in 2010 and an arbitration case between Timon, Hohl and Cryer, according to Baer’s attorney Sean Brohawn.

Baer played Jethro on the “Beverly Hillbillies,” a 1960s sitcom.
