TAMPA â Albert Lonzo Adams III is back in trouble.
Two years after he admitted swindling animal lovers through the Soaring Paws rescue charity, Adams is once again accused of misusing funds intended to help pets.
State investigators say Adams collected close to $13,000 through phony pet insurance claims. The claims were said to be for veterinary procedures for his two dogs, but the insurance company discovered that the procedures never occurred, prosecutors say.
