Oxbow Country Club, some members defamed former West Fargo man; jury awards over $2M in damages [View all]

FARGO — A Cass County jury concluded Friday, July 26, that the Oxbow Country Club and three of its members slandered and defamed a former West Fargo man by spreading false rumors that he used cocaine at the club.

The jury also awarded the plaintiff more than $2 million in damages that will have to be mostly paid out by the club and the three men found to be mainly at fault.

The verdict brings closure to a lawsuit that was filed in January 2018 by Aaron Greterman against the club and members Bill Short of Fargo, Britton Mattson and David Campbell, both of Horace, N.D., and Scott Differding and Roger Campbell, both of Oxbow, N.D.

Greterman alleged the defendants slandered his name by claiming he used cocaine and hurt him economically by defaming him.
