According to WHNT, Madison County Sheriff's deputies have charged Susanna Burhans, 47, with aggravated animal cruelty after they say she fed meaty treats with dangerous ingredients to dogs along her route.
Ed Glover tells WHNT Burhans was his mail carrier. He found one of the meatballs on the ground by his mailbox.
Glover believes the mail carrier had already fed one to his dog, Missy.
