LYNN – A Saugus woman charged in November with taping her dog’s mouth shut was ordered Tuesday to have no pets and that her house be subject to random inspections by animal-welfare workers after a neighbor said the defendant kicked a puppy.”She is out on bail, on personal recognizance, and Saugus Police receive a report of a person kicking a puppy, that can’t defend itself, and here she is,” Essex Assistant District Attorney Justin Edwards said Tuesday in Lynn District Court.But defense attorney Barbara Keon said the defendant wasn’t even home when the puppy was allegedly kicked. Meanwhile the reporting party, “how do I say this, has a crush on (the defendant’s) boyfriend,” Keon said.Stephani Wadman, 22, of 73 B Ballard St. rear, Saugus, appeared in court Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to a charge of animal cruelty.Saugus Police reported responding to Wadman’s neighbor’s home at 12:14 p.m. July 30 and seeing a dark gray/black pit bull puppy sitting tied to a post in Wadman’s front yard.The neighbor allegedly told police she was getting ready for work about ten minutes earlier when she heard a dog whimpering and a female yelling.”As she looked out her front window, she observed her female neighbor whom she identified as ?Stephani’ kicking the puppy multiple times,” Saugus Police Officer Thomas DiPietro wrote in a report summarizing the witness’ statement. “As this was taking place, Stephani was heard saying something to the effect of bad dog … stupid dog.”The neighbor alleged Wadman then “forcibly picked up the puppy by its front two paws” and carried it inside.Police said they saw Wadman come outside her house and take the puppy inside while they were interviewing the witness. Officers said Wadman didn’t respond to knocks on her door or shouts to come speak with officers, and police reported hearing the door being locked.”At this point, it was obvious that Wadman was aware of our presence and was unwilling to speak with us,” DiPietro said.Edwards requested Wadman be held on $5,000 cash bail for the new charge.”I expect defense counsel will say there is some feud or bad blood between the witness and defendant,” Edwards said. “But when officers show up, the defendant doesn’t come outside and tell them the neighbor is a liar. She knows what she’s done, she knows she’s kicked the puppy.”Edwards also requested Wadman’s bail in the previous case be revoked.In that incident, Saugus Police found a two-year-old, “very skinny” female pit bull lying underneath a car “in severe distress” on Nov. 12. The dog was having trouble breathing because its mouth was taped shut with 4 ? feet of electrical tape, police said.Wadman came outside and told officers the dog was hers and she had taped its mouth shut because it got into the trash and bit. Judge James LaMothe ordered a $1,000 personal surety bond and ordered Wadman to give up the dog, Edwards told the court.Edwards asked that any conditions of release on the new charge include that Wadman have no animals in the house and be subject to random compliance checks, conditions Edwards said were denied at Wadman’s arraignment on the November case.Keon said Wadman was not abusing the dog in the November incident; she was using the electrical tape as “an inexpensive muzzle,” which was not so unusual.As for the new charge, Keon said Wadman was walking around Lynn Reservoir when police came to the house and had corroborating text messages. The puppy belonged to a roommate’s girlfriend who was at the house, Keon said, and the roommate had insisted that police get a warrant if they wanted to come inside.”If police really believed this (puppy) was abused, they would have gone to Lynn District Court to get a warrant,” Keon said. She asked that Wadman’s bail not be revoked and that the defendant be allowed to remain free on personal recognizance.LaMothe said he was most concerned that Wadman not have any animals. He allowed Wadman to remain free but ordered that she not have any pets in the house and tha
