The woman who claimed to have found the dogs, 50-year-old Jennifer McBride, and a 5th defendant, Harold White, 40, were each charged with being accessories after the fact. McBride also was charged with receiving stolen property, while the elder White was additionally charged with illegal possession of a firearm, prosecutors said.
