NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Sitting in the driveway of her condemned home with some of her belongings, Joan is embarrassed.

"I've lost all my animals, my place to live, my dignity," she said. "I had a nosy neighbor that called Animal Control, and they came out, and they went through all my closets and saw the animals. So of course, I was going to hide them."

Animal Control officials retrieved 56 animals in total - 50 cats and 6 dogs.

"I was trying to stop them from going to the pound and getting killed," Joan said.

North Las Vegas Police, Animal Control, and the Animal Foundation say many of the cats found were sick anyway, and Joan was doing more harm than good.

"The most important thing here is that the living conditions of this home were absolutely indescribable," said North Las Vegas Police Officer Chrissie Coon. "It was really important for the safety of the family and the safety of the animals to get everybody relocated."

Seventy-eight-year-old Alice Alava pleaded no contest to three counts of failure to yield the right of way to a pedestrian in a crosswalk and one count of unlawfully passing vehicles stopped for a pedestrian in a crosswalk and failure to give full time and attention while driving.

She was sentenced to a $1,000 fine per count, totaling $5,000, and has to surrender her driver's license for two years.

In court, Decker's parents reflected on what they'll never get to experience because of the crash.
