Dr. Kris L. Taylor, owner of Landings Animal Hospital in Avon Lake, Ohio, and his accomplice Camille Angulat-Nieto have been indicted on multiple felony charges related to obtaining thousands of prescription pills using the name of a deceased dog named Punkin. Prosecutors allege that between August 10, 2024, and June 7, 2025, Taylor and Angulat-Nieto wrote over 20 prescriptions for oxycodone and Alprazolam in Punkin’s name and had them filled at various pharmacies. Both were charged with engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, deception to obtain dangerous drugs, and possession of controlled substances, among other felonies. Taylor was arrested and released on $500,000 bond; his court date is pending, and it is unclear if Angulat-Nieto has entered a plea.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
