(KAIR)--A Bendena man is sentenced to more than 5-years in prison in connection with dog-fighting.
The Saint Joseph News-Press reports 29-year-old Colton Albright learned his fate Wednesday in a Doniphan County courtroom.
As the result of a plea agreement, Albright was sentenced on six felony counts of dog-fighting, and a misdemeanor count of marijuana possession.
Albright had originally been charged with ten counts of dog-fighting, three counts of possession of dog-fighting paraphernalia, and one count of animal cruelty.
He pleaded guilty in August as part of the plea agreement.
Albright was arrested in August, 2018, after Kansas Bureau of Investigation agents, assisted by the Doniphan County Sheriff’s Office, served a search warrant at his residence.
45 dogs, and dog-fighting paraphernalia, were seized at that time.
