A Pansey man received a 46-month sentence after he pleaded guilty to multiple felony charges involving the failure to perform services promised as part of an area dog training business.

Investigators with the Houston County Sheriff’s Office arrested 26-year-old David Andrew Bynum in October and November 2013 on multiple felony theft of property charges.

Assistant Houston County District Attorney Gary Maxwell said Bynum pleaded guilty Monday to seven felony counts of second-degree theft of property by deception and three misdemeanor counts of cruelty to animals. Maxwell said two similar theft by deception charges were dismissed.

Maxwell said Houston County Circuit Court Judge Michael Conaway sentenced Bynum to 46 months for each of the seven felony second-degree theft by deception charges. But he said the sentences were ordered to be served concurrently with each other for one 46-month term.

Maxwell also said Bynum received six month sentences for each of the three animal cruelty charges, all ordered to be served concurrently with each other.

Bynum was allowed to remain released on bail until his probation hearing, which will be heard at a later date in front of Conaway.
