ROSS TOWNSHIP, Pa. (KDKA) - A woman will receive probation after pleading guilty to one felony charge of aggravated cruelty to animals.

Sources tell KDKA Mary Frankovic pled guilty to the felony charge as well as two misdemeanors; cruelty to animals and neglect of sheltered animals.

As a stipulation of her probation, she is not permitted to care for any animals during the next 10 years.
