The Kentucky Enquirer reports Larry Browning, who was originally charged with 14 counts of cruelty to animals and 49 counts of failing to properly dispose of an animal carcass within 48 hours, entered an Alford plea this month in a deal that merged the charges into a single count of failing to dispose of a carcass. Under the Alford plea, Browning did not admit guilt, but acknowledged that there is enough evidence for a conviction.
He was sentenced to 18 months of probation and must repay restitution of $7,500 to the county for the care of the horses removed from his farm.
