(For those of you who remember this monster; I am appalled that he was not
sentenced to some jail time.)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- An embattled Sumner County veterinarian pleaded
guilty on Friday to charges including animal cruelty.
As part of the deal when he pleaded guilty, Dr. Bill Baber will not have to
serve any jail time and will pay a fine of $5,000 and serve 200 hours of
community service. He was also sentenced to supervised probation.
Baber had been charged with 12 misdemeanor offenses, including animal
cruelty.
Undercover video first obtained by the I-Team showed Baber putting animals
to death in the Sumner County Animal Shelter by injecting them directly into
the heart without sedation. The practice was later deemed inhumane.
Baber lost his license and was charged with animal abuse after a Channel 4
I-Team investigation last November.
He regained his license in April and has been practicing since.
Baber remains on probation with the Veterinary Licensing Board for the next
five years, which means he'll have to appear before the board every year for
the next five years to give board members an update on his status.
