On Dec. 28, 2023, an agreed consent judgment entry and order was filed in Fairfield County Common Pleas Court settling a civil lawsuit filed by the Ohio Attorney General on Jan. 24, 2023, against defendants Automark Automotive Corp. and Mark A. Reese. Reese owned and operated the AutoMark car dealership from locations at 420 Lancaster Pike, Circleville, Ohio 43113 and at 1779 Victor Road, Lancaster, Ohio 43130, during which time he sold motor vehicles to consumers that did not have certificates of title issued in the name of the dealership at the time of the sale, and during which time he failed to obtain certificates of title in the name of the consumer purchasers on or before the 40th day after the sale of motor vehicles, according to court records.
