A woman that pleaded guilty to animal cruelty has been placed on probation for 10 years. In July of
2022 a dead puppy was found on the property of 42-year old Michelle Marie Bradford in Groves. The
puppy was left unattended in a cage in a driveway without food or water with a heat index of more that
100 degrees. Bradford was arrested in September of 2022 and charged with animal cruelty. If she
violates the terms off her probation, she will be sentenced to prison for 10 years.
