Missing Persons singer Dale Bozzio is sitting in an Ossipee, New
Hampshire, jail today after dropping her appeal of a March animal
cruelty conviction.
Thirteen animal cruelty charges stemmed from Bozzio's failed attempt to
"save" feral and sick cats from the New Hampshire woods. Two cats were
found dead and 12 were put down following an undeterminable period of
neglect that came to a head while Bozzio toured last fall (our exclusive
photos from the scene can be viewed here, but be forewarned - they
aren't for the faint of heart or stomach). She was found guilty of one
count of cruelty to animals.
In May, Bozzio was sentenced to 90 days in jail with 60 days deferred
for two years, plus 250 hours of community service. She was also ordered
to pay a $2700 euthanization bill. That sentence has now been imposed.
After following the saga for nearly a year, I found Bozzio yesterday in
a zen-like calm as she waited in the Carroll County District Court
clerk's office with her husband Richard McKenzie and lawyer Dennis
O'Connor. Known for her perky personality and happy-go-lucky songs like
"Walkin' in L.A." and "Destination Unknown," the singer was friendly and
positive that she would be just fine. She hugged me, blessing me and
telling me "I respect you" before she voluntarily surrendered to the
county jail.
With good behavior, Bozzio could serve as few as 20 days of the
sentence. But given recent developments on the West Coast

the financially strugging star's troubles will unquestionably continue
upon her release. Her former Reseda, California, landlord tells us he
will now take legal action over skipped rent payments and at least
$3,600 in cat-related damage.

Is this her normal look or is this just without makeup?

I don't know. I initially was going to state it was her mugshot but
caught myself and simply included the link without speculation as to the
origin. The photo was compelling enough for me to add the mention of it
as well as the link to it.

Wasn't this whole thing that she was on the road, and
whoever was supposed to take care of her animals just
failed to do it? Sheesh. Your tax dollars at work.

Yes, and it was count #13 that send her to prison now:

Oy, whoever didn't show up to take care of the kitties needs
a good beatdown.
