WEST DUNDEE, Ill., May 22 (UPI) -- An Illinois woman admitted she stabbed her husband's two pet bearded dragon lizards to get revenge, a police report indicates.
Sara Tinsley, 38, of West Dundee, entered a guilty plea in Kane County Circuit Court Wednesday to a charge of aggravated cruelty to animals, the Chicago Tribune reported Thursday.
Tinsley was taken into custody April 2 after officers were made aware of a domestic dispute at her home.
The lizard-hacking wife admitted to assaulting the reptiles with a steak knife in an effort to upset her husband, Harry Tinsley, 38, after he allegedly beat her the previous day, a police report said.
Prosecutors said the couple was going through a divorce when the lizard assault took place and the husband was charged with domestic battery.
