AL: Stolen cell phone leads deputies to evidence of dog fights

    PRATTVILLE – The Autauga County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a possible dog-fighting incident after video of what appears to be a fight was found on a stolen cell phone.

    The investigation began Tuesday afternoon after an Autaugaville resident reported his cell phone stolen, said Sheriff Joe Sedinger.

    “We pinged his phone and deputies found it in the fork of a tree in a wooded area in the 500 block of North Pickett Street,” Sedinger said. “We also found two pit bulls chained up that had injuries consistent with dog fighting.”

    When deputies checked the phone, they found footage of a dog fight. The footage also showed the faces of people who were in attendance, he said. Investigators believe the suspect who stole the phone recorded the images.

    “So we have a lot of good evidence,” the sheriff said Wednesday afternoon.

    No arrests have been made and the dogs were taken to the Prattville-Autauga County Humane Shelter.

    The area in which two dogs were seized Tuesday is in the same location where deputies seized 13 pit bulls in January, 2015. The dogs were chained in the woods and deputies found a plywood ring where they believe dog fighting took place.

    No arrests have been made in that case.

    “It’s very hard to make an arrest,” Sedinger said. “Usually people putting on the fight will call other people on cell phones and tell them to meet at a certain time in the rural parts of the county.”

    “Then the folks with the dogs show up, and they fight the dogs and then leave. The whole thing may take place in 10 or 15 minutes and then everybody is gone.”

    Residents are asked to report suspicious activity.

    “If you hear dogs barking or whining in an area, we need to know about it,” he said. “Or if you see a lot of vehicle or foot traffic going into a wooded area. Most of the time these fighting dogs are kept in secluded areas, and it’s very difficult to find them unless we have help from the community.”

    true. but recording fights on recording people's faces? not keeping that recording in a secure area? a phone? not password securing that phone? sounds to me like they're living the thug life in their minds. i don't live in an overly ghetto area but there are a lot of wannabes who match mix breed mongrels. lol i could go and get a street match for my heeler with some bully mix by waiting around. all kidding aside, i'm surprised these folks were that dumb to put so much evidence against them. even if they aren't thug, they're definitely stupid.
