Amber Heard to Fight Dog Smuggling Charges : People.com
Amber Heard plans to plead not guilty to charges of allegedly sneaking her and husband Johnny Depp 's dogs into Australia illegally in May.
In a statement released by her lawyer, Heard announced that she will fight charges of illegal importation and falsifying documents, although she respects "the importance of Australian laws," NBC News reports.
Heard, 29, was accused of sneaking her and Depp's two Yorkshire terriers - named Pistol and Boo - into Australia on a private jet earlier this year, breaking the country's biosecurity laws.
Once it was discovered that the couple allegedly broke the law, politician Barnaby Joyce threatened to euthanize the dogs unless Depp, 52, and Heard returned the terriers to the U.S. within 72 hours.
