A Georgia woman who didn’t want to hear her neighbor’s barking dogs will no longer have to do so because she’ll be spending the next 27 years in state prison for violently taking matters into her own hands.

Fonda Suzette Spratt, 57, recently pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted murder, and one count each of home invasion and criminal possession of a firearm, according to Hall County court records obtained by Law&Crime. Two counts of aggravated assault were merged with her other charges. The defendant was also ordered to pay for “treatment” expenses incurred by her victim – up to $2,000.

Spratt was sentenced to 65 years – with the majority of that time due to be served on probation, the case’s final disposition shows. She must also perform 40 hours of community service.
