The office of Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill (I say office of, because A.G. Hill seems to be spending more time running from his scandals than running the office) filed an action against two car dealers.

According to the Indianapolis Star:

The civil suit, according to a news release, takes aim at Jerramy Johnson and Jeffrey Presnell, who owned and operated three southside businesses: Wheels of Fortune LLC, Southpointe Motorcars LLC and Mid America Auto Remarketing.
