A Neillsville woman has been sentenced for animal mistreatment.At the end of November 2014, 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, a neighbor, 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 was found guilty of the charges against her during a jury trial back in April. She was sentenced to 2 years’ probation with an imposed and stayed jail sentence of 180 days, meaning if she fails any conditions of her probation, she’ll spend 180 days in jail. However, as a condition of her probation, she was sentenced to 28 days in jail and 200 hours of community services.
