Randy Parton

The city released 178 pages of documents Monday detailing how Parton's production company spent more than $2.1 million in city money to launch his namesake theater.

Roanoke Rapids mayor pro-tem Reggie Baird said the new documents don't have any "red flags" like paperwork released last week that showed Parton spent money on liquor and at Las Vegas shows.

Mayor Drewery Beale has said Parton will not perform at the theater anytime soon. The city has already slashed Parton's compensation and transferred production duties to a Boston-based company.

The city borrowed $21.5 million to build the 1,500-seat theater as part of an entertainment hub off Interstate 95.
