TAMPA, Fla. (WWSB) - The convicted former CEO of a Tampa Bay-area animal charity faces new charges of filing false pet insurance claims.
Hillsborough State Attorney’s Office prosecutors have filed six new felony fraud charges against Albert Adams, who ran the nonprofit organization Soaring Paws.
Investigators allege Adams signed up for a pet insurance policy, which would reimburse him for his pets’ medical expenses. He then filed five claims and received payment last year for nearly $13,000 worth of procedures for his two pet dogs that were never performed. The pet insurance provider, Healthy Paws, suspected fraud and contacted law enforcement.

TAMPA â How could a respected cop be accused of threatening to shoot a detained man, only for prosecutors to conclude he committed no crime?
In the case of former Hillsborough County Sheriffâs Sgt. Janak Amin, a defense attorneyâs probe suggests a rushed and flawed investigation, one that may have been influenced by politics.
Although three of Aminâs fellow sheriffâs deputies claimed he threatened a man deputies were trying to restrain during a July 9 arrest, at least seven others said they never saw or heard the sergeant do anything wrong, according to the attorneyâs summary of the case. Use-of-force experts likewise opined that the sergeantâs actions were consistent with standard law enforcement practices.

TAMPA, Fla. â Prosecutors plan to seek the most serious charges possible against the man accused of killing a Hillsborough County deputy.
Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren plans to ask a Grand Jury to indict Travis Garrett for first-degree premeditated murder of a law enforcement officer and eight other charges.
âThis was a deliberate attack on law enforcement; he targeted a cop. When you commit a crime like this â when you cause pain like this â you should expect consequences like this,â Warren said. âDespite losing a friend, the detectives handling this case are completely focused. Theyâre doing an incredible job working with our prosecutors
