TROY, Kansas — A man was sentenced to more than five years in prison Wednesday in a Doniphan County dogfighting case.
Adorned in a blue uniform, orange rubber shoes and handcuffs, Colton Albright, of Bendena, Kansas, was able to sit in the spectator section of the courtroom prior to the start of the hearing. He could be seen joking and hugging family as he awaited sentencing for his multiple convictions of dogfighting and possession of marijuana.
