GRAND ISLAND, Neb. – A Florida woman has been given two years of probation for drowning a 3-week-old puppy in a Nebraska airport restroom.
Cynthia Anderson, of Edgewater, was sentenced Thursday in Hall County District Court in Grand Island. In May she’d pleaded no contest and was convicted of cruel neglect of an animal resulting in its death. At Thursday’s hearing Anderson apologized for what she’d done and pleaded for mercy and probation.
On Jan. 23 the 57-year-old Anderson was barred from boarding a flight at the Central Nebraska Regional Airport in Grand Island because the puppy was so young and not properly contained.
Authorities say Anderson then was seen entering the restroom. Another woman soon reported finding the Doberman puppy’s carcass in a toilet.
