With her release at 6:30 pm Sunday, according to BCSO corrections records, the jail portion of that sentence has now been served.

| Monsters: Roberta Dueitt and her daughter, Sharon Dueitt |
Former Robertsdale resident Dueitt, 32, was sentenced in Baldwin County court by Judge Langford Floyd earlier in the week for her role in the case, after area shelters rescued hundreds of dogs from the abandoned Purple Hearted Puppies Animal Rescue in Summerdale in late January 2012.
Along with her weekend in jail, Dueitt's sentence includes supervised probation and community service.
According to Baldwin County corrections records, both Roberta Dueitt, who was 63 at the time of her arrest, and her daughter Sharon Dueitt, who was 29, were arrested Feb. 3, 2012, charged with one felony count of cruelty to dog/cat first degree and one misdemeanor charge of cruelty to animals.

Roberta Dueitt and her daughter, Sharon Dueitt, were charged with 20 counts of animal cruelty and were taken to the Foley jail on bail totaling $10,000 each, according to Summerdale police. |
Following those arrests and bookings, Roberta Dueitt was released on a $2,500 bond. Sharon Dueitt was released on a $500 bond.
At the time of their arrests, it was reported that Sharon Dueitt and her mother faced over 100 misdemeanors and 20 possible felonies after 200 animals were found at the Summerdale facility.
The scene discovered by investigators including 20 dogs and two cats that were found dead. Two horses had to be put down due to neglect, police said at the time of the arrests.
At Sharon Dueitt's Robertsdale residence, police found an additional 27 animals, including dogs, cats and goats. Three dead kittens were found on the property. Roberta Dueitt was not charged in Robertsdale, according to police.
A pre-trial intervention agreement kept Dueitt and her mother out of jail on the condition they pay $100,000 restitution and not have contact with any animals.
Then late last year videos posted by Dueitt on social media showed her new puppy, which nullified the agreement and put Dueitt in jeopardy of going to jail for up to 10 years for felony animal cruelty.
Dueitt reported to the Baldwin County Corrections Facility on Friday as scheduled to serve her sentence. Jail records indicate she was booked just prior to midnight on Friday, Feb. 13.
Records now list her home address as Irvington, Ala. (Mobile County).
Part of the community service order includes Dueitt working at a court approved animal shelter or rescue cleaning up after the animals.
