Connecticut Woman Sued for Housing Pig
Dolly may be down on the farm, but the owner of the 750-pound swine is in trouble.
The town is suing Deborah Gallagher, seeking $90,000 in damages for allegedly violating an order instructing her to get the porker out of her back yard.
Gallagher was arrested in June on three counts of violating the public health code by keeping the pig on her property from June, 1991, to July, 1992, but the state dropped the criminal charges after she took Dolly to a farm.
Guilford Health Director John Brogden said Dolly had to be moved because Gallagher’s property was less than 300 feet from a day care center.
