OCONTO, WI (WTAQ) – An Oconto woman has pled no contest to killing a dog by dragging it behind her car for several miles.
In court Thursday, 28-year-old Jordan McDonald was convicted of mistreatment of animals causing death. Online court records indicate that McDonald will be sentenced on July 7.
According to the criminal complaint, McDonald got into an argument back on January 10, and when she left a home, the dog was tied to the vehicle. The person McDonald was arguing with called police, who pulled McDonald over. At that point, the dog was lying in the road still attached by a leash to the vehicle.
McDonald had denied knowing the dog was tied to the vehicle, according to the complaint, and accused the person who called police of tying to the vehicle.
