A Bucks County woman accused of animal abuse has been returned to the United States by investigators after fleeing to Belize last year.
She was charged with over 100 counts of animal cruelty in January, a case that the Bucks County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said is the largest in the county's history.
After her criminal case in Belize was settled on Sept. 18, the U.S. and Belize governments arranged to have her returned for the animal cruelty charges.
There was no evidence that O'Keefe provided veterinary care for any of her animals, the Bucks County Courier Times reported.
The Bucks County SPCA did not immediately return a request for comment on the investigation.
