Carol Block pleads guilty to improper care of an animal; court imposes $105 in fines and costs
Summary
Miss Block pleaded guilty to improper care or treatment of an animal under town code §7-9-230. The court accepted the plea and imposed a stipulated total of $105 in fines, costs and surcharge; the defendant was directed to coordinate payment with the court clerk.
The presiding judge read the animal-care statute (section 7-9-230) and Miss Block acknowledged understanding her rights before pleading guilty to improper care or treatment of an animal. The judge reviewed the statutory elements (adequate food, water, shelter, veterinary care) and accepted the guilty plea.
The court imposed the stipulated fine, costs and surcharge totaling $105 and told Miss Block to see the court clerk to make arrangements. The judge offered brief procedural assistance (asking David Block to identify himself when assisting the defendant) but did not record additional remedial requirements beyond the fine and costs.
