JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 A 64-year-old Jacksonville woman faced 11 felony charges after Jacksonville police said she used her vehicle to intentionally run over a group of baby ducklings.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, a couple witnessed a red Honda Accord deliberately drive over a group of ducklings on Tempest Street on the city\u2019s Westside. <\/p>\n
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office, the driver turned the vehicle around multiple times to hit the animals. When the couple confronted the woman days later, she told them she intentionally killed the ducks because she was upset they had made a mess in her yard, JSO said.<\/p>\n
The couple then reported the incident to JSO and provided surveillance video showing the woman driving over the ducklings. Officers identified Beverly Sasberry as the owner of the red Honda Accord.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, April 30, officers pulled Sasberry over and arrested her following an interview. She faced 11 counts \u2014 one for each duck \u2014 of Cruelty to Animals, a felony charge.<\/p>\n
