Some of you may not remember 21-year-old Abbey Toll. I posted a short blurb about her back in April ’09. She was accused of taping a small dog to a refrigerator after getting into an argument with her boyfriend after he did not get rid of the dog – a Shiba Inu named Rex. She was charged with felony animal cruelty and the boyfriend was charged with a lesser charge and received a one-year deferred sentence. In December, Abby entered a plea that said she suffered from an impaired mental condition as a result of domestic violence – but a court ordered mental eval proved that to be bullshit. So on Monday, her trial began. Things aren’t looking to good for Abby, starting with animal lovers standing outside holding up signs. If found guilty, this hot red-head is looking at up to 18-months in prison and I’ll be looking at 15 minutes of lesbian inmate spank material.
So some of you understand why she was charged with a felony, here is what police say happened that day. Abby was already upset that her boyfriend had not gotten rid of the dog after it had bit her earlier. So when Rex crapped on the floor of the apartment, Abby decided to teach her boyfriend and the dog a lesson. She used hair bands to bound Rex’s snout and legs and then attached him upside down on the side of the fridge with packing tape. When the boyfriend got home, they started arguing about the dog on the fridge and stuff started getting thrown around. Abby had just started to leave with her chihuahua when police got to the scene.
As they were talking with the couple, they heard a rustling sound from inside the kitchen. That’s when they found Rex upside down on the fridge, struggling to get free. They asked Abby how long the dog had been like that and she told them 20 to 30 minutes. The fact that Rex was stuck like that and the boyfriend did not free him, choosing to argue with Abby, is why he was charged with a misdemeanor animal cruelty charge. He was also ordered to give up Rex and not allowed have any contact with the dog. Rex has since been adopted by another family and was renamed Yoshi.
