  • Arkansas Woman To Be Sentenced for Animal Cruelty 

    Friday, Sep 25, 2009 @08:32pm CDT

    More than three and a half years after being convicted on numerous animal cruelty charges, an Arkansas woman will be sentenced.

    Tammy Hanson fled before she could be sentenced, but early this morning she was extradited from Vermont to Arkansas.

    She's being held without bond tonight in the Baxter County Detention Center.

    Hanson and her husband, William, were convicted in 2006.

    In late 2005, investigators found nearly 600 abused dogs on their property near Mountain Home.

    It was considered the worst case of animal cruelty in the nation at the time.

    After skipping their sentencing, the couple moved to Vermont and were living under assumed names.

    Tammy was arrested in mid-July and had been fighting extradition.  William was taken into custody earlier this week in Johnson County, Missouri.
