A landowner in Montrose, Iowa accused an oil pipeline company of offering him the services of a “$1,200 teenage prostitute” in exchange for access to his property, television station KCRG reported on Monday.
Hughie Tweedy, the landowner, said a representative from Dakota Access LLC offered him “the sexual services of a woman” if he’d agree to let the company run a pipeline through his property, KCRG reported. Tweedy said he was presented with this offer on three separate occasions, according to the station.
KCRG contacted the company and was told the allegations were being investigated.
Tweedy told the station he doesn’t want the pipeline on his property and doesn’t think he should be forced to give it up through eminent domain.
Tweedy reportedly recorded two of the conversations but was advised by his attorney not to share them with the media, according to the station. He wouldn’t name the representative but alleged that the rep had offered him the services of a “$1,200 teenage prostitute” after he denied access to the land, KCRG reported.
The rep also allegedly said an archaeological survey of Tweedy’s land was illegal, fake and, according to Tweedy, “nothing more than a hoop Dakota Access was jumping through” so the pipeline, which would run from North Dakota to Illinois, would be approved.
“I don’t care if it’s a highway to heaven paved in gold, I don’t want it on our property,” Tweedy said.
“I want the pipeline to go around me, but honestly I don’t want the pipeline in the state of Iowa,” Tweedy said. “I think the cost and benefits don’t add up.”

Sure, they want to get him laid so they can screw the rest of us.
I kind of love that he taped it. And dang nabbit, this guy is a hoot.
ETA: I read quotes of his elsewhere, they really are awesome.
Well, seems like these companies will do anything to make a buck except, you know, be honest.
Hughie Tweedy? And he turned down the offer three times? I’m guessing he wasn’t 32 and divorced. Probably got wise when they told him she was also a virgin.
"was advised by his attorney not to share them with the media, according to the station. "
Nice to see some of us still have fucking brains in our heads and the ethics to steer them.
How much do we want to bet that the same people who are ready to canonize Cliven Bundy support the gov’t using the power of eminent domain to plow the oil pipeline through this man’s land? I’m guessing the folks over at Faux are already yammering about this offer of a teenage whore all being a lie and nothing but slanderous liberal gossip.
