Woman accused of duct-taping dog's mouth shut appears in court

A woman accused of duct-taping a dog's mouth shut and posting a photo of the animal on Facebook appeared before a judge.

Katharine Lemansky faces animal cruelty charges. She heads back to court in January.

A caption with the photo read, "This is what happens when you don't shut up!"

It was originally believed that the picture was taken in South Daytona, where Lemansky used to live.  Police, however, said she was tracked to North Carolina, where she will attend a court hearing.

Investigators said Animal Control officers checked on the dog, which appeared to be in good condition.

If she's found guilty, Lemansky faces a fine and up to 150 days in jail.
