Albert Adams arrested
We wrote about Albert Adams more than a year ago when we caught him pretending to be a combat wounded colonel of the Air Force variety. He was being investigated for misuse of funds for his charity “Soaring Paws”, some sort of dog rescue group. Well The Tampa Bay Times reports that he was arrested yesterday;
Adams, 47, turned himself in Thursday at the Hillsborough County Jail to face seven felony charges relating to his operation of Soaring Paws. He was released about 90 minutes later after posting $14,000 bail, according to jail records.
“Soaring Paws Inc., through Albert Adams, has used various means, particularly through social media, to solicit donations while making misrepresentations or misleading statements to the public in order to gain said donations,” wrote state criminal investigator Randall Jones of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
The agency launched a criminal investigation in April 2016 after the Tampa Bay Times published a series of articles that raised questions about the way Soaring Paws operated. The arrest affidavit cites many of the topics raised by the Times’ reporting. Jones subpoenaed charity and personal bank records and combed through hundreds of pages of Adams’ financial transactions.
Adams shrugs off the charges and characterizes them as “paperwork problems”, according to The Times.
“It was just a simple clerical error and we will take the steps needed to prove that all we wanted to do and all we ever did was help animals in kill shelters make it to forever homes,” he said.
One count charges Adams with failing to use solicited money for its stated purpose. Another alleges that he obtained contributions by fraud while advertising on social media that Soaring Paws had found an airplane to buy. He told followers he had negotiated a purchase price and showed them a photo of a single-engine Piper with the tail number N322381. The plane’s Connecticut owner told the Times in March 2016 that the plane wasn’t for sale and he had never heard of Adams.
Valor thieves and dogs – the stories all end poorly for the dogs.

Nice overbite with rakers.
How many dogs actually got put into permanent homes by this creature?
Some of these idiots really don’t understand how any of this works.
If you want to skim a charity just pay yourself to administer the charity the IRS won’t really look at you for excess compensation unless you go north of that 200k range…pay yourself 150k and have an expense account for travel. If you have no soul you can raise money and live comfortably while doing very little actual charity work.
For the record my 501 3c that benefits youth athletes pays me zero dollars in salary but I do get a $1600 stipend a year to cover my $3,500 in travel and supply expenses…there is no other money used for “administration” all the rest goes to the programs for these kids.
Albert Adams misses the fine buffet served at the BTJT Deli (Home of the WORLD FAMOUS cockmeat sammich). He’ll be back in the loving arms of Mr. “Tiny” soon enough and on the cover of “Prison Bride Weekly” once again.
He got a real pretty mouth ain’t he?
Bubba will want him to shave that stubble so there is no irritation to the gonads when he force feeds him his new liquid diet.
How I hate anyone that abuses animals, this cocksucker is the lowest of the low! I hope they use him for attack training for police canines! Train them to bite off his gonads!
I believe somewhere I’ve heard a comment about Stolen Valor being a rancid cherry on some kind of a dessert?
Tiny and the gang will be getting his Cherry!
Bubba, Thor, Julio, Tyrone and “Mr. Tiny” are gonna make him SQUEEEEEEEAAAL like a piggy in the showers, he’s gonna hear “PICK UP THAT SOAP, BITCH” lots and plenty of times!
It’s good that he calls himself a Colonel, because the boys in the pen say he’s finger-lickin’ good.
He should have PAWSED and thought things over before this scheme.
I am lucky enough to ave many of his records from before the investigation turned criminal. Y’all will be pleased to know he spent donors money on Vaginal Tightening Cream off AMAZON, and even a Man girdle.
Ohhhhh Where oh where are you Sock Puppet Albert?
Isn’t another naw for a man girdle “spandex”? Someone please help Hack remember who it was that had a fondness for spandex.
