Two dogs starved, one found dead chained to truck
Barneston, NE (US)

Incident Date: Wednesday, Dec 16, 2009
County: Gage

Charges: Misdemeanor
Disposition: Convicted

Defendant/Suspect: Jody Newby

A 26-year-old Barneston woman convicted in an animal-neglect case must perform 40 hours of public service at the Beatrice Humane Society.

On Wednesday, Jody Newby also was sentenced to 24 months of probation and two 30-day jail terms. Beatrice radio station KWBE reports that Judge Paul Korslund of Gage County District Court said the jail terms could be waived if Newby were to follow probation terms.

Newby had pleaded no contest after the felony charge against her was reduced to a misdemeanor.

An affidavit from Gage County Deputy Burke Kline says that on Dec. 16 he found a dead dog chained under a truck at Newby's residence and another dog that was severely emaciated. Kline says he saw no food or water for either dog.
