HALIFAX COUNTY, Va. – A Halifax County woman is suing Halifax County Animal Control for more than $1 million for what she claims was a wrongful arrest.
Christen Waddle was arrested in December and charged with stealing a dog and its tracking collar.
She claims she found the dog emaciated on the side of the road and was taking it to the county animal shelter.
