PASCO, Wash. (AP) — An Eltopia man accused of raising roosters for cockfighting was sentenced Tuesday in Franklin County Superior Court to five months of jail work release.
The Tri-City Herald reports 35-year-old Francisco Javier Mendoza acknowledged he would be found guilty of animal fighting and possession of marijuana.
He was caught holding bags of marijuana in May when police raided his home to look for evidence of cockfighting and gambling.
