Ore. woman pleads guilty to animal neglect, dies

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. — An 80-year-old woman was found dead in her home Thursday — the same day she pleaded guilty to animal neglect.

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. — An 80-year-old woman was found dead in her home Thursday — the same day she pleaded guilty to animal neglect.

Sheriff Tim Evinger says Leta May Johnson's death is thought to be from natural causes and did not appear to be suspicious.

Johnson was arrested more than a year ago and charged with neglecting to feed her horses, sheep and cattle.

She was given a deferred sentence after her plea that would have kept the conviction off her record if she followed the rules of her five-year probation.

The Klamath County Humane Society and local veterinarians rescued 200 sheep and 55 horses, many of which have been adopted.
