25-Year-Old Abandoned Kittens In Parks
UPDATED: 2:08 pm EST November 17, 2005
PAINESVILLE, Ohio -- A woman has been sentenced to spend a night in the woods without water, food or light.
Painesville Municipal Court Judge Michael A. Cicconetti handed down the sentence Thursday to Michelle M. Murray, 25, for abandoning 33 kittens in the woods at two parks in northeast Ohio.
Murray told Lake Metropark rangers that she left the kittens they found in September because she was moving and having personal problems.
She was also ordered to pay $3,200 to the Lake County Humane Society and $500 to Lake Metroparks.
This isn't the first unusual sentence for Cicconetti. In the past, he ordered a man who hollered "pigs" to police officers to stand on a street corner next to a pig.
He made a man charged with playing his car stereo too loudly sit in the woods in order to appreciate silence.
He also made a group of high school students who vandalized school buses throw a picnic for a group of grade-school students whose picnic was canceled because of the stunt.
Cicconetti also made some teens who threw rocks at cars from a bridge hold a giant sign on a busy road at Christmas saying what they did and that they were sorry.
