A 19-year-old woman was jailed on a felony aggravated animal abuse charge after she reportedly threw, squeezed and stomped on a Pomeranian puppy near the Medford Center on Wednesday.

The puppy, a 3-month-old female that weighed just 2 pounds, is recovering at the Jackson County animal shelter and being held as evidence in the case, officials said.

Medford police got a report of animal abuse in progress at the shopping center near Biddle Road and Stevens Street at 1:18 p.m. Wednesday, Detective Sgt. Mike Budreau said.

When an officer arrived, about 10 witnesses pointed to a young woman clutching a puppy and said she had been throwing it to the ground, stomping on it and swinging it by its leash, Budreau said.

As the officer approached her, he saw that she was squeezing the small dog so hard it couldn't breathe, Budreau said. The officer asked her to hand him the dog, but she refused.

Then she threw the dog about 10 feet and it landed on the pavement. The officer moved in to arrest her, but she fought him. After a short scuffle, Shasta Dawn Parnell was arrested on charges of aggravated first-degree animal abuse and resisting arrest.

EXCUSE ME?? 10 days and probation? No pets for 10 years? No psych eval? No anger management?
Just an "Oh Well, Naughty Girl" and a slap on the wrist??

She's gonna have a kid someday and if you think what she did to the dog was bad... just wait.

She almost looks like she has Downs syndrome to me. I am not sure, I know little to nothing about the disease. An officer did say she seemed mentally impaired. Maybe that is why she got off lightly.

Then there has to be more conditions than printed (there always is, I guess). If that is the case, I hope she has more than adequate support in place.
