:Pet Store Owner Arrested
:Man Charged With Violating 'Pet Lemon Law'
:POSTED: 3:42 p.m. EST January 28, 2003
:STUART, Fla. -- A pet store owner was arrested for violating Florida's "Pet Lemon Law" by refusing to pay for a sick pug's medical treatment after he sold the animal to a Port St. Lucie woman.
:The lemon law requires stores to replace animals they sell that are found to have defects or diseases, or to pay for medical treatment.
:Mike Guerra sold a male pug named Shamus to Tracey Wallace in August. Shamus died and was replaced with a female named Chloe. But Chloe soon became sick and was later diagnosed with a congenital problem that is incurable.
:
:Wallace did not want another dog, so she wrote Guerra, asking him to refund her $757 payment to put toward the medical bills.
:Guerra was informed of the law's requirements but did not respond. Guerra was arrested Monday and then released from the Martin County Jail on $2,000 bail. He faces a misdemeanor charge of violation of the consumer guarantee on the sale of animals.
