Woman Accused Of Taping Dog OK’d To Live With One

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) – A University of Colorado student accused of taping her boyfriend’s dog to a refrigerator will be allowed to live at her mother’s home in Chicago this summer, even though her mother has a dog.

Boulder County Judge Noel Blum granted the request from Abby Toll on Monday.

The 20-year-old Toll was arrested April 14 after police say they got into a fight at her boyfriend’s apartment. Police say she used packing tape to bind the legs, snout and tail of the 2-year-old shiba inu, then stuck the dog, upside down, to the side of the refrigerator.

Police say Toll later told them she taped the animal to the fridge because she was mad at her boyfriend for refusing to get rid of the dog.

Toll is charged with felony aggravated cruelty to animals and drug possession.
