A Blount County woman was sentenced to six years today (Monday, April 30, 2018) after she pleaded guilty to 21 counts of animal cruelty. Court officials say the sentence for 43-year-old Amy Robertson of Maryville includes 120 days in jail plus supervised probation. She must repay over $4,000 to an animal shelter and may never own animals again. Robertson pleaded guilty on all 21 counts of aggravated animal cruelty early this month.
