BOULDER, Colo.—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.
