MANTORVILLE, Minn. – Probation has begun for a Pine Island woman who went into another woman’s garage and tried strangling her dog. Crystal Ondler, 38, was sentenced to two years of probation. In a plea deal Ondler admitted to drunken driving and disorderly conduct. In exchange, charges of burglary and animal cruelty were dropped. Ondler was arrested in November in a vehicle parked on the front lawn of a Kasson house. It was from the house that police had received a 911 call. A breath test found her blood-alcohol-concentration at 0.28% — triple the legal limit plus.
Ondler. Pleaded guilty to reduced charges.
