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
Garwood's operations last June, seizing hundreds of dogs and puppies. Many were living in squalid conditions. The Garwoods
still face a civil tax case from the Indiana Attorney General’s Office over $132,440 in unpaid taxes.

Metro police have launched an internal investigation into brutality allegations made by an Indianapolis teenager. Brandon

punched and kicked him in the face. Johnson was arrested for interrupting a police investigation and disorderly conduct, but
before he could be booked, he was taken to the hospital with broken teeth, a broken nose and lacerations to his face and eye.
Police say Johnson was "causing a riotous situation” and was “violently resisting."
