COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A pair of parking attendants at Truist Park have been arrested and accused of pocketing some cash while at work.
According to warrants obtained by Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell, Ayianna Brodeur and Kenneth Cainion were working for LAZ Parking at Truist Park’s Lot 9.

The warrants say Lot 9 is a pre-paid lot, so no transactions should have been happening at the gate. Instead, they say Brodeur and Cainion took cash and electronic money payments for cars that did no have pre-paid tickets, taking the payments for themselves.
The payments were less than $1,500, the warrants say.

“We are fully cooperating with the authorities. Because it is an ongoing investigation, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further.”
