ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) - A former Sutherlin Stampede rodeo queen must perform 160 hours of community service at an animal shelter after pleading no contest to animal neglect for starving her horses.
The Roseburg News-Review reported that 20-year-old Jessica Attaway of Roseburg began crying as she addressed a Douglas County judge during sentencing Friday.
Darla Clark is the director of Strawberry Mountain Mustangs, a horse rescue organization in Dixonville. She told the judge that Attaway should have asked for help months earlier.
