*A 74-year-old woman was being held in the Hall County Jail Sunday morning on bonds totaling $6,360 following her arrest on animal cruelty and other charges. She was booked on two counts of animal cruelty, two counts of disorderly conduct, and one count of operating a vehicle with an expired tag. Other information on the case is not likely to be available until Monday morning when local law enforcement administrative offices reopen following the weekend.
