The Graves County Court Clerk says 51-year-old Tammy Littlepage pleaded guilty Wednesday in Graves County District Court to four counts of animal cruelty. Judge Deborah Crooks sentenced Littlepage to 90 days conditional discharge and a $100 fine for each count.
Littlepage was arrested Sept. 13 after the Graves County Sheriff's Office responded to her home on State Route 849 East in the Boaz community and reportedly found several dogs that were living in filth and in need of medical care. Deputies said the inside of the home was covered in feces, urine and trash. Four dogs were found inside and deputies said they were emaciated, malnourished, and at least one had mange.
As part of the deal, Littlepage also agreed to forfeit her dogs.
