She is Cindi Azzouz, 35, who owns the Pizzarama at 9639 Fairfax Blvd. She was arrested at her restaurant, Dec. 17, 2010, after City of Fairfax Police accused her of failing to pay nearly $26,000 in city meals tax collections. According to authori- ties, she owes meals taxes collected at her business between Dec. 12, 2006 and June 28, 2010. Azzouz was initially charged with five felony counts of embezzlement. Each charge represented a six-month pe- riod during which she hadn’t remitted the meals taxes. While executing a search warrant at Pizzarama on Nov. 5, 2010, police seized $4,000 in cash, which will revert to the city. Actually, the Criminal Investigations Division began in- vestigating on June 28, 2010 following a complaint from the City of Fairfax treasurer that, despite repeated notices from the city, Azzouz had made only sporadic payments of the city meals tax her restaurant was required to collect.

Shelter staff expects them to be available for adoption begin- ning Tuesday, April 26, after re- ceiving their initial medical exams and vaccinations. To adopt a dog from the shelter, the entire family must first visit with the dog there. If the dog is a puppy, a survey must be completed prior to the visitation. If there are other dogs in the home, those dogs must be present at the visit. All prospective adopters must com- plete an application providing proof of home ownership or, if renting, proof that dogs are al- lowed. Prospective adopters must also show proof of current vaccinations for any current pets, plus current dog licenses for any dogs currently owned. The cost to adopt a dog is $40 (this includes a rabies vaccine if old enough, a microchip and other age-appropriate vaccina- tions), plus the $170 cost of spay/ neuter. Veterinary services beyond spay/neuter are available for ad- ditional fees at the adopter’s ex- pense. Animals are not held for adopt- ers and the shelter has no waiting list for adoptive animals. For more information or if interested in adopting a shelter animal, call 703-830-1100. College Notes
