Freelance reporter Suzanne Atkinson has resigned from Ontario Farmer publications.
She has pleaded guilty to helping take sheep that were under federal agriculture department quarantine on the farm of Montana Jones. They were suspected of being infected with rabies.
The trials for Michael Schmidt of raw-milk notoriety and others involved in the "theft" remain to be held.
Atkinson's sentencing hearing has been rescheduled for Feb. 11. She will be a witness in the other trials.
Atkinson breached voluntary journalism ethics when she failed to disclose that she was personally involved in a story she was reporting.
