Charles D. Warren Jr., a founder of Warren Retrievers firm, a Virginia-based service-dog company, could pay an amount over $3 Million in restitution and other penalties for deceiving customers by providing them badly-trained dogs.

The office of Attorney General Mark Herring said in a news release that Warren’s animals allegedly could assist patients with autism, diabetes, and other problems. However, the customers said they were delivered with puppies that lacked training and have behavior issues.

According to the lawsuit, Warren also charged $18,000 to $27,000 per animal. In the amended version, Warren lied to the customers and others about the firm’s affiliation with law enforcement agencies. The founder now lives in Florida and could face extradition as stated in Article 4 of the Constitution.
