-A Neillsville woman has pleaded not guilty to animal mistreatment.At the end of November, a witness saw Amber Parsons pull her puppy into the air by its leash. The witness also saw her slam the puppy into a pile of gravel. At that point, the man insisted that she give the puppy to him so he could take it to the vet. When she refused an altercation occurred, but he was able to get the dog away from her. This all began when Parsons lost her temper after finding the puppy chewing on her couch.
The puppy was taken to the vet and a fracture was found on its hip. A cast was also put on its leg. Parsons pleaded not guilty to the charges of animal mistreatment and disorderly conduct on Monday. She is also not allowed to have any contact with the witness in this case nor can she have any contact with animals. A $1,000 signature bond was set against her.
