(KNZA)--A Doniphan County man charged in a suspected dogfighting operation has entered into a plea agreement.
29-year-old Colton Albright, of Bendena, pleaded guilty Wednesday in Doniphan County District Court to six felony counts of dogfighting and an amended misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana.
In exchange for the plea, 13 additional charges were dismissed.
Sentencing was scheduled for October 23.
Albright was arrested in August of last year after Kansas Bureau of Investigation agents, assisted by the Doniphan County Sheriff’s Office, served a search warrant at his residence.
Seized were 45 dogs believed to have been used for dogfighting, along with suspected dogfighting paraphernalia.
Albright remains in the Doniphan County Jail, held without bond.
