    Arrests in multi-state dog fighting probe grow

    Associated Press

    MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The number of people arrested in a multi-state dog fighting investigation has grown to 13.

    Federal court records show Jennifer Hayden McDonald, of Fairburn, Ga., was arrested last week in southern Mississippi on a conspiracy charge. She has not been scheduled for arraignment in Montgomery.

    Court records say federal agents saw three people loading a dog into a sports utility vehicle following a dog fight in Lee County, Ala., on April 7, 2012. The agents followed the vehicle into Georgia. The Georgia Highway Patrol stopped the SUV for a traffic violation and found a dead pit bull inside. Authorities say McDonald and co-defendant Carlton Tippens were in the SUV. A vet examined the animal and found severe wounds consistent with staged dog fighting.

    Tippens and 11 others were arrested in late August.

    I am sure they made up somethin just to pull them over.The trooper was just waiting on them he knew what was up.Shit they could have pulled them over bfore they crossed state lines.Crossing lines for dog fighting just sweetens the pot a lil bit i guess.

    I don't know but it's been all out war on dogfighters for a while now. It's just not worth it anymore, only an idiot will match dogs in the USA now as much as I hate to say that
