E.Z Emerson

A Davidson County Grand Jury indicted 61-year-old Paul Earthman Cox III for three counts of tax fraud, three counts of tax evasion, and one count of theft on July 24th, 2024. The indictment alleges that Cox III, between January 1st, 2021, and December 31st, 2023, before the finding of his indictment, did knowingly obstruct, hinder, or impede the State of Tennessee from collecting a portion of its lawful sales tax revenue by falsification of any record, report, or return required by law through monthly sales tax returns of PCS Southeast Automotive LLC with the intent to defraud the State of Tennessee. Also, it is alleged that Cox III, between January 1st, 2021, and December 31st, 2023, knowingly attempted in any manner to evade or defeat any tax due the State of Tennessee through sales tax and did obtain or exercise control over $250,000 or more of the Tennessee Department of Revenue’s money without their effective consent, with intent to deprive them. Cox III was taken into custody on July 29th, 2024. A judicial commissioner set Cox III’s bond at $275,000.

Wife assaults husband & destroys his office after she’s denied drugs — Lillian Stout-Cox arrested

Police say 28-year-old Lillian Stout-Cox was at Top Golf with her husband, Paul Cox, who owns a Goodlettsville car lot. She reportedly became upset after he would not hire her brother and caused such a scene that Paul took a rideshare back to the car lot. By the time he arrived, Lillian was already there waiting for him. Security video shows another argument occurred, this time after she demanded some of his prescribed medication (Klonopin) as she searched the office for them. When she realized they were in his possession she began destroying computer monitors and furniture throughout the office. Stout-Cox is charged with domestic assault and vandalism and is free on a $2,000 bond.

Editor’s Note: Stout-Cox called the toll-free Scoop Newsline shortly after bonding out of jail to let us know she had been arrested, and to threaten a lawsuit if we published her story, stating her court records were “confidential”. In this reporter’s opinion based on her conversation, she had found those Klonopin prior to making the call.
