BOULDER — The University of Colorado student accused of taping her boyfriend’s dog to a fridge will be allowed to spend the summer at her mother’s home in Chicago, despite the fact her mother has a dog, a Boulder judge ruled Monday.
Abby Toll, 20, “didn’t even have a traffic ticket on her record” before her April 14 arrest on suspicion of felony animal cruelty, defense attorney George Kokus said Monday in requesting that Toll be allowed to leave the state.
Boulder County Judge Noel Blum granted the request, and will require Toll to participate in a monitored sobriety program with a Chicago-area laboratory as a condition of her $12,500 bond .
Toll, an environmental design major, also faces a felony charge of drug possession after police said was found with a trace amount of heroin while being booked into jail.
Toll is accused of binding her boyfriend’s 2-year-old shiba inu, Rex, in packing tape and sticking him upside down to the fridge during a fight.
