Fayetteville (AP) - In Fayetteville, a man is to go to prison for eight years after he admitted abandoning some dogs in a residence he rented in Winslow. The dogs chewed up the wooden floor and died. 30-year-old Dennis Osborn was sentenced on convictions of criminal mischief for causing damage to the rental property. Cruelty to animals is a misdemeanor. But Osborn was charged with criminal mischief and received the heftier penalty because of the damage to the property. In July, the landlord found five dead dogs, three in the home and two in a shed on the property. Osborn claimed the dogs had the Parvo virus before he left. It wasn't clear whether the dogs died before he left or while he was gone because of a lack of food and water. He also pleaded guilty to residential burglary and theft in a separate incident, when he broke into his employer's house and stole some items. Also, the judge revoked his probation from six years ago on fraudulent use of a credit card.
