ALSEA, Ore. (AP) — Benton County Sheriff’s deputies found 15 malnourished pit bulls, all bearing old scars or fresh wounds last week, giving a glimpse into dogfighting rings in the area.
The Corvallis Gazette Times reports deputies also found three dead dogs buried under trees.
Lt. Greg Ridler says the dogs were being prepared for organized dogfighting.
Police say one man was arrested in connection to dogfighting. Corvallis resident Cody Hufeld was arraigned Friday on 15 felony counts of dogfighting.
