Woman who stabbed lizards sentenced to clear roadkill.
West Dundee – A Kane County judge has sentenced a West Dundee woman to pick up roadkill after she pleaded guilty to stabbing two of her ex-husband’s lizards, killing one of them.
Judge Grant Wegner said 38 year old Sara Tinsley’s sentence was appropriate. She also was given 18 months probation, must undergo an anger management evaluation and pay $979 in fines, court costs and veterinarian bills.
The two bearded dragon reptiles were named Fred and Ethel; Ethel died and Fred recovered after surgery. Tinsley apologized in court Thursday and promised to not be violent towards animals.
Tinsley’s ex-husband is Harry Tinsley of West Chicago. He said there was some justice done, but thought the sentence was not enough.
1. Is anyone else getting tired of reading about the Chicago area in the Police, Fire & Courts section of the Sunday Journal Star?
2. Why can’t I find this on the Journal Star’s website under the Police, Fire & Courts section, which is where it is in the print version?
3. I think we all know someone who needs anger management therapy.
4. Roadkill is nasty. Lizards are nasty. Divorces can be nasty.
5. I Love Lucy is cool, but I’m more of a Mary Tyler Moore, Sanford & Son, WKRP kind of guy.
