Warren Co. Woman Gets Probation For Running Puppy Mill
A Warren County woman accused of operating a puppy mill has been placed on probation. In court this week, Wilma Jones entered a best interest plea to animal cruelty charges. As part of her sentence, she is banned from having more than four dogs or cats. Last year, Jones was charged with 10 counts of animal cruelty and five counts of possession of controlled substances after officers and an animal rescue group seized more than 120 dogs from Jones’ property near Centertown. They reportedly found most of the animal suffering from infections, dehydration and malnourishment.
