Woman gets probation for stabbing husband's lizards


ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP - A Kane County woman who pleaded guilty to stabbing her husband's pet lizards could spend dozens of hours picking up dead animals from the roadside, according to the sentence she received on Thursday. Sara Tinsley, 38, of West Dundee, was sentenced to 18 months of probation on one felony count of aggravated cruelty to animals. Authorities said she mauled her then-husband's two bearded dragons inside the ocuple's home following an argument. One of the lizards died. The other survived after receiving medical treatment. Kane County Judge Grant Wegner also ordered Tinsley to undergo an anger management evaluation, pay the $604 bill from an exotic animal hospital and complete 50 hours of community service by helping highway workers collect animal carcasses from the road.
