FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — A 30-year-old Fayetteville man was in the Cumberland County jail Wednesday after being charged with starving two dogs inside a home on Hyannis Drive.

According to investigators, James Marvin Wing, of 7326 Hyannis Drive, left two dogs locked in cages without food or water for several weeks. Wing is charged with two counts of felony cruelty to animals.

The dead animals were discovered Feb. 27 when a Cumberland County sheriff's deputy was called to the house. The animals were later examined, and a veterinarian determined that the cause of death was starvation.

Wing's bond was increased to $25,000 Tuesday during his initial court hearing.
