From Press staff reports

MULLICA TOWNSHIP - A woman pleaded guilty to animal cruelty Tuesday in municipal court after she failed to get veterinary care for a horse with a large wound, the president of the Atlantic County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said.

Heather Stafford, who ran the Montana Horse Farm on Fourth Avenue, was fined $400 plus $250 restitution for veterinary bills, said Nancy Beall, president of the county SPCA. She was also given 30 days community service and 15 days in jail, the latter to be suspended as long as she stays out of trouble.

"The sad part is, she is a rescue," Beall said.

Stafford has owned horse farms at several locations in the county and has been the target of an SPCA investigation for several years, Beall said.
