Charges Dropped Against Amber Heard Over Dogs Smuggled Into Australia in 2015

  • Amber Heard brought her two Yorkshire terriers, Pistol and Boo, into Australia in 2015 without proper documentation, violating quarantine laws.
  • Heard initially pleaded not guilty but later admitted to falsifying documents related to bringing in the dogs.
  • Australian authorities investigated discrepancies in Heard's court statements but eventually dropped additional charges related to illegal importation of animals.
  • Heard had faced up to 10 years in prison and a $75,000 fine but received a one-month good behavior bond after pleading guilty to providing false documents.
  • The incident caused controversy and led to apologies from Heard and her then-husband Johnny Depp before their divorce in 2017.
