Anthony Bynum, 53, of Austin was sentenced on Friday in Mower County District Court to 51 months in the Minnesota Correctional Facility in St. Cloud for felony third-degree sale of a narcotic.

He received a concurrent sentence of 19 months in prison for felony fifth-degree drug possession-possess schedule 1,2,3,4 drug-not a small amount of marijuana. A second charge of felony fifth-degree drug possession was dismissed.

He received credit for 20 days served in both cases.

Judge Kevin Siefken issued the sentences.

Court documents state a police informant met with Bynum on April 9 and purchased 0.93 grams of heroin from him at a residence in the 1000 block of Second Avenue Southwest. Police provided the informant with buy money and an audio recorder for the transaction.

Police then executed a search warrant later that day at the residence. Inside, officers found 3.39 grams of heroin, 3.33 grams of cocaine, and $350 cash, $100 of which matched the serial numbers of the bills used by the informant to purchase the heroin, the complaint states.

A detective later spoke to Bynum, who indicated he had been selling heroin.

A review of Bynum’s criminal history shows prior convictions for drug possession, drug sales, disorderly conduct, assault and financial transaction card fraud.
