Arrest Made In Dogfighting Case

POSTED: 5:38 pm EST December 17, 2004

Police made an arrest Friday in what authorities are calling the biggest dogfighting case in Marion County history.

Animal control officials say this seized pit bull is missing an eye, has scarring on its face and has marks of old wounds on its legs.

Donald Thompson, 37, faces 14 D felony charges of promoting dogfighting after authorities said 30 of his pit bulls seized last week showed signs of injury and scarring.

Investigators believe Thompson may have conducted dogfights at his home in the 2900 block of Cumberland Road.

Police arrested Thompson after he went to the kennel to visit his dogs.

Thompson's bond was set at $50,000.
