CONWAY — The man who shot his a relative in the stomach last year was sentenced to at least three years behind bars by a Carroll County Superior Court judge on Tuesday. At a bail hearing earlier this year, the victim pleaded not to send the shooter to prison.
On Tuesday, Devan Bynoe, 28, of Conway, pleaded guilty to criminal threatening in front of Judge Mark Attorri, who ratified a plea deal created by his defense attorney, Mark Sisti, and the Carroll County Attorney’s Office.
