Last Month News 7 first showed you the scene
there last month. Now animal control
officials also brought charges against
Nancy Felter for failing to provide
adequate shelter for seven animals.

That and the "failure to bury"
charges carry only a fine.

But one additional charge could
land Felter in jail for a year.

That involves the case of the
Schnauzer with a broken leg.

Felter is charged with "ill
treatment" or depriving the dog
emergency veterinary care, one of 19
separate charges returned by the Grand

was comfortable as the Miami Dolphins

*CG locator Blacksburg
2002 The reason is apparently two-fold :00 - and concerns money and winning.
Saban won a national championship at
LSU, but was just 15-and-17 with the
Dolphins. This just completed season
was his first losing season in 13 years
as a head coach at any level.

As for the money - he was making
$4 and a half million a season and
living on the beach.

In Tuscaloosa, he won't get a
beach, but he will make a lot of cash -
$32 million over 8 years - and it's all
guaranteed. He'll be formally
introduced tomorrow morning.
