FRANKFORT, Ky. (Nov. 15, 2025)– Attorney General Russell Coleman announced today that action by the Attorney General’s Special Prosecutions Unit resulted in the indictment of two Hardin Countians behind C & P Garage, an organization accused of taking advantage of Kentucky veterans. In August, Attorney General Coleman secured a civil court order closing C & P Garage for misusing funds and misrepresenting its work with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
A Hardin County Grand Jury indicted Carlos Fernandez, 65, and Patricia Parrott, 60, both of Radcliff, for one count of Theft by Unlawful Taking, Greater than $10,000 and Less than $1 Million (Class C Felony).
The Attorney General’s Department of Criminal Investigations (DCI) investigated the case. Executive Director of the Attorney General’s Special Prosecutions Unit Tim Cocanougher and Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Hall will prosecute the case.
The Attorney General’s Office of Consumer Protection secured the court order in a separate civil case to temporarily shut down the organization.
The Kentucky Supreme Court’s rule on trial publicity limits information the Office can provide publicly.
The charges in an indictment are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
