A Posey County woman will not receive any jail time for dog hoard. Carol Leach was accused of keeping about 100 dogs inside her home, and was charged with 65 misdemeanor counts of cruelty to an animal. Due to her age and mental health, the judge decided not to give her jail time, despite the rescue group’s statement that it was the worst case of hoarding they had ever seen. Leach was found guilty and sentenced to six months house arrest and seven years probation.
