Two Harrison County puppy-mill operators were sentenced to probation Tuesday after they admitted they committed sales-tax
evasion. Virginia Garwood, 65, and her daughter, Kristen Garwood, 27, told a Marion County judge they did not collect or pay
sales taxes to the state from their dog-breeding operation in the southern Indiana town of Mauckport. Several agencies raided

still face a civil tax case from the Indiana Attorney General’s Office over $132,440 in unpaid taxes.
