View Comments
A Metro Detroit animal advocacy group is seeking a harsher punishment for a woman facing sentencing in a case involving the abuse and attempted drowning of her dog in Macomb County.
Detroit Pit Crew Rescue objected to a plea deal Amber Sunde recently received that calls for two years’ probation, restitution and mental health treatment after being charged with animal abuse of her pup, formerly named Lux.
Theresa Sumpter, the group’s founder and director, is seeking jail time instead. There’s no real consequence,” she told The Detroit News. “The plea deal offered by the Prosecutor’s Office is so very low, I couldn’t believe it.”
