Probation for Florida woman who drowned pup in airport toilet
A Florida woman has been given two years of probation for drowning a three-week-old puppy in a Nebraska airport toilet.
Cynthia Anderson of Edgewater, Florida, was sentenced in Hall County District Court in Grand Island.
She pleaded no contest in May to cruelly neglecting an animal, resulting in its death. A no contest plea is not an admission of guilt but is treated as such for sentencing.
During the hearing, the 57-year-old apologised for her actions and pleaded for mercy and probation.
Anderson was barred from boarding a January 23 flight at the Central Nebraska Regional Airport because the puppy was so young and was not properly contained.
Authorities say she was then seen entering the ladies toilets. Another woman soon reported finding the Doberman puppy dead in a toilet.
