A witness complaint led to Carroll County's first criminal court case in at least seven years where someone was charge for abandoning cats � a crime that animal control officers acknowledge happens often but isn�t commonly prosecuted.

Angela Graham, 30, of 2092 Canyon Rd. SW pleaded guilty Aug 25, 2005 in Carroll County court to a minor misdemeanor charge of abandoning animals.

The witness told sheriff deputies that she saw a teenage girl throwing the cats out of the trunk of a white Dodge Intrepid on Aug. 7.

Judge John Campbell fined Graham $150, then suspended $100 on the condition of good behavior for two years, court officials said.

Shirl Berry, animal cruelty investigator for Carroll County, said Graham told the court that someone had left the cats with her, and she no longer wanted them because they were sick.
