MICHIGAN -- An Oceola Township couple has received probation on charges of attempted animal cruelty.
They were sentenced Thursday in Livingston County Circuit Court.
Victoria Lynn Ciminelli, 21, and her boyfriend, Patric Phillip Poirrier, 40, were originally charged with felony animal cruelty of four to 10 animals, but each pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of attempted animal cruelty, a one-year misdemeanor.
Authorities alleged Ciminelli and Poirrier housed eight cats in unsanitary conditions and failed to provide proper medical attention when the cats became ill. The cats suffered from worms and at least one had a liver condition, authorities said.
Under the terms of the plea deal, Ciminelli and Poirrier received a two-year nonreporting probation term that will include conditions ordering them to not possess or own animals and to submit to random inspections by police or animal control officers to ensure they are compliant with probation requirements.
Under the the plea deal, Ciminelli and Poirrier cannot seek early release from probation..
