Woman gets jail time for taping dog to refrigerator
BOULDER • A woman convicted of taping her boyfriend’s dog to a refrigerator has been sentenced to 30 days in jail and three years on probation. A judge handed down the sentence Friday for 21-year-old Abby Toll. Toll was convicted of felony animal cruelty on April 13. She could have faced up to 18 months in prison.
Prosecutors say she used hair ties and tape to bind the 2-year-old dog’s snout and legs before taping him upside-down to the refrigerator. Police say Toll told them she was getting back at her boyfriend, Brian Beck, for paying more attention to the dog than to her. Beck pleaded guilty to misdemeanor attempted animal cruelty and was given a one-year deferred sentence. Another family has adopted the dog. Read the full article at the Gazette.com.

“The mice ate the marijuana” was an excuse no more believable than “the dog ate my homework” for authorities in Argentina, where eight police officers have been fired over the disappearance of around 1,200 pounds of pot.
I think there’s a typo:
“Beck pleaded guilty to misdemeanor attempted animal”
should be “Toll” that pleaded right?

What a freaking nut job! Jail time, she should be committed to an institution for the insane!
I think she needs psychiatric help. Also, I wonder if she was under the influence of a drug.
18 months would have been more appropriate.
