Dallas County prosecutors have reached a plea agreement with a Johnston woman accused of neglecting dozens of horses on her property. According to court records, Linda Kilbourne intends to plead guilty in a written plea. The records do not indicate the specific charge Kilbourne will be pleading guilty to.

Kilbourne was initially charged in November with livestock neglect causing serious injury or death, a serious misdemeanor, as well as 47 counts of simple misdemeanor livestock neglect. The simple misdemeanor charges are on hold while the serious misdemeanor case is resolved.

Kilbourne must submit her written guilty plea by March 28.
