MUNISING -- The Munising man who was charged with animal cruelty in June will spend five days behind bars.
Robert Johnson pled guilty to animal cruelty involving two to three dogs instead of the original four to ten he was being charged with. He also pled guilty to not properly licensing the animals. Both charges are misdemeanors.
Johnson will also spend 24 months on probation.
In an emotional address to the court, Johnson showed remorse for the dogs he is charged with neglecting.
"I thought I was giving the best. That is false when she says I have no remorse; my dogs mean everything to me. If I could do it over, I'd do it different."
As part of the terms of his probation, Johnson will not be allowed to own or possess any animals.
