Aspiring Country Singer/Adjuster in Alabama Re-Arrested on Bond Violation

An Alabama public adjuster, with a passion for country music, has found himself in a web of legal issues. Austin Tanner, from Orange Beach, has been re-arrested after allegedly violating the terms of his bond. This incident comes after he was initially arrested earlier this year. Tanner's story is not just about legal troubles; it also involves his alleged overcharging for claims adjusting work and his connection to a law firm that made headlines last year.

Unraveling the Tale of an Alabama Public Adjuster's Legal and Musical Journey

Insurance Fraud Allegations

In April, Tanner was indicted on insurance fraud and theft charges. Local news outlets and court records reveal that he allegedly overcharged for claims adjusting work on a condominium association and a Baptist church in South Alabama. These policyholders were represented by Morgan & Morgan, a prominent law firm. Tanner pleaded not guilty and posted a $20,000 bond. However, late last month, he was charged with violating the terms of his bond, which required him to stay in Alabama unless given permission by a court. Instead, he attended the Country Music Awards in Nashville on Nov. 20 and posted about it on social media. A judge in Alabama approved an arrest warrant and a bond revocation, and a bond revocation hearing is set for Wednesday in Mobile.Tanner has been pursuing a music career for the past year or so. In March, he released a single called "All We Need," which is available on Apple Music. His dual life as a public adjuster and a musician has now led to these legal complications.

Professional Licenses and Background

Tanner held an insurance producer's license in Alabama from 2010 to 2012 and an adjuster's license from 2012 to 2014, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' license search page. However, the NAIC did not show a license for ATA Loss Consulting. This raises questions about his professional activities and the legitimacy of his business. Messages left at phone numbers listed for Tanner were not returned by late Sunday.The details of Tanner's legal case and his musical pursuits have drawn significant attention. It remains to be seen how these two aspects of his life will unfold and what impact they will have on him and those around him.
