Fort St. John woman pleads not guilty to animal endangerment charges

Holden was in court in Grande Prairie today, where she plead not guilty to all four counts.

The incident in question occurred on July 7, when Grande Prairie RCMP found the remains of a kennel and small dog in a fire pit, near the trailer Holden was occupying at a private campsite near Grovedale. Witnesses said another dog may have been injured as well, and RCMP believe it would have died from the injuries described. RCMP say Holden was intoxicated at the time of her arrest, and that she and her partner may have had an argument, and the partner had left before police arrived.

She is next expected in court on September 19, 2012.
