TONOPAH, Ariz. - An illegal cockfighting ring was busted in the west valley and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is not taking this animal cruelty lightly...
All of the suspects were booked for being present at a cockfight -- a class one misdemeanor. The two property owners, Apolinar Dominguez and Sara Lomas, are facing several felony charges. MCSO says both suspects are illegal immigrants.
As an indicator of the strong family values of the cockfighting community, some in attendance at the cockfight even had their children with them. In a further surprise twist to this story, guns, drugs, and $25,000 in cash were found at the scene of the genteel cross-cultural festivities.
