BREAKING NEWS: 52 ARRESTED AT MAJOR MISSISSIPPI DOG-FIGHT BUST (AREA IS BETWEEN MEMPHIS TN AND CORINTH MS) NAMES OF THOSE CAUGHT RELEASED (SEE BELOW) EST. 20 PIT BULLS ARE BEING HELD BY THE HSUS


Benton County dogfighting suspects' names released
Apr 3, 2013

The final number of people arrested at a dog fight in Benton County over the weekend is 52, according to a list released by the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department on Wednesday.

Officials said some of those arrested are “major players” in the national dog fight scene.

Between 15-20 dogs were also rescued. Two of them were fighting at the time police arrived, and the others were being held in vehicles awaiting their turn to fight.

"This was one of the premiere dogfights in the country, if you will," said Marshall County Sheriff Kenny Dickerson on Monday. "They have five or six a year according to our intelligence."

Police believe there could be others who escaped through the woods because they confiscated upwards of 70 cars. They also recovered around $100,000 and expected that total to rise as they continued to inventory the confiscated vehicles.

According to Mississippi Code, anyone fighting a dog or holding a dog fight can be fined up to $5,000 and may spend up to three years in the state penitentiary. Those convicted of watching a dog fight can be fined up to $5,000 and may spend up to a year in prison.

Investigators are still looking for those who may have escaped the dog fighting ring, and the Humane Society is offering up to a $5,000 reward for anyone with information that leads to a conviction.

Those arrested by more than 100 officers and agents with the Marshall, Benton, and DeSoto county sheriff’s departments and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations are as follows:

I was joking, really. Thought it was funny that he referenced a Roman way to punish them when Romans used the same place to dogfight for fun. But, yeah, I think Americans are so dog obsessed that many see it as worse than it is. The OP is an example of it. Pitting people in a fight to the death isn't the right punishment for those who fight dogs. Dogs are not people.

I am just thankful they nabbed those idiots, and I appreciate the Humane Society of the US for their help. They are in the forefront of trying to stop dogfighting, and I have personally worked with them in this area some years ago.

It's kind of hard to believe the Sheriff of that county didn't know what was going on, but then, again, it probably has some pretty isolated areas. Wonder if all those cars were running around there with out-of-state-licenses on them? I know counties in Arkansas where the Sheriff can just about tell you every person who is in the county on any given day.

I hope they confiscated some nice cars and some nice drugs, too. I wish some of that money could go to humane care of animals in that county.
