A Griffin man has been sentenced to federal prison for promoting dogfighting. The 35-year-old man, who has a history of drug dealing, received a two-year sentence. He bred dogs for fighting, using methods such as treadmills to condition them from birth.

The man's treatment of dogs was inhumane, with animals kept on heavy chains or in overcrowded crates surrounded by waste. Evidence of dogfighting was found on his social media and cloud storage accounts, including videos of injured and dead dogs. Further details of the case are available from local news sources, including evidence of the man's activities and the conditions in which the dogs were kept.
