A Madison County grand jury indicted four men for dog fighting last month. Madison County deputies busted the ring on November 4, 2017 after receiving an anonymous tip.
The dog fighting ring operated off of Highway 43 in Canton. Sheriff Randy Tucker's press release stated:
Deputies heard noises of dogs growling and barking coming from a wooded area in the rear of 645 Rankin Road. There, deputies observed four (4) black males surrounding two (2) pit bull dogs and noted that they were agitating the dogs towards one another, and then allowed them to fight. Deputies ordered them to stop and come towards them. One of the individuals, later identified as Maurice Greenwood, fled to his residence located at 637 Rankin Road, where he was captured on the back porch.
The owner of the property at 645 Rankin Road was identified as HB Preyer. At the scene, a search of the property revealed a homemade treadmill made of iron and wood that had short chains on it, which is commonly used to force fighting dogs to exercise. Also located on the property were medicine, food supplements, and antibiotics that are commonly used in dog fighting operations. Seized from the property was the exercising treadmill, three (3) mother dogs with a total of fifteen (15) puppies, as well as an additional fourteen (14) adult dogs. All appeared to be pit bulls and pit bull mixes.
All of the animals suffered from malnourishment and had not been properly taken care of and some did not have access to water. The dogs were taken into Law Enforcement custody and placed in a shelter.
Deputies seized 32 dogs and various items of equipment used for dog fighting and training.
The grand jury indicted Derrick May and Maurice Greenwood for one count of dog fighting and one count of conspiracy for dog fighting. It also indicted Michael Brown and H.B. Preyer, III for nine counts of dog-fighting.

Kingfish note: Meanwhile, Canton's State Senator, Barbara Blackmon, opposes any penalty for dog fighting or animal cruelty.

Babs opposes penalties for dog fighting because she and her constituents see absolutely nothing wrong with it.
It's their culture.
If she could sue on behalf of the dogs and get her “40 %” she would have a different outlook. To oppose punishment for these types of individuals is inexcusable.
The Blackmons are the "new" leadership of the MS Democratic Party, which is why the Republicans have a super majority.
I think even a cat has more sympathy for dogs than Blackmon.
Babd son used to participate in the dog fighting business. He even had one the doggy treadmills set up at her house in Jackson. Babs and Eddie are crooks who wouldn’t have anything except they were chosen pimp jurors for big tobacco cases.
Yo, dog fighting be dope.
Babs won her senate seat with 4,832 votes...she’s a real powerhouse, end of sarcasm.
She’s worse than embarrassing!!!
Don't forget Joel Bomgar, R-Madison. He also opposed the bill that would increase the penalty for dog fighting.
Bomgar. Man that guy has been a disappointment.
What do you get when you mix the Republican color of red with the yellow belly of none other than Joel Bomgar? His orange color that he uses for his campaign literature and signs.
Orange-Julius...I mean Orange-Joel. The guy is a solid whiny loser. Publishes a weekly update consisting of zero meat or substance. He failed to mention his nay vote on the dog abuse penalty.
Please let's send this guy back to his regular job. He can sell orange shirts at The Rogue.
Bumgar’s a libertarian. I can understand his vote on those grounds.
I don’t agree with it, but I understand it.
Babs and her peoples see it as a right.
Barbara Blackmon is a very weak loser. Sad!
Sorry, 8:40, but increasing a penalty is not larger government, which is the piss-poor excuse the Orange-Libertarian tried to give for his nay vote. Why could he not just be honest and own up to Barbara delivering him three hundred votes?
Monsters that would hurt helpless animals like these deserve the same treatment. There's nothing bad enough that can be done to these ignorant bastards who get pleasure and excitement from such cruel actions. Makes me sick to my stomach.
What are the odds that Blackmon and Blackmon will represent the perps accused of dog fighting?
If some of you would stand up for your fellow Americans as much as you do for dogs, we would be much better off. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he common white-guy Mississippi view seems to be: screw poor people, no abortions but also no help to pay for child care or any welfare at all, no help for students, PETA is the devil, shoot all the deer/any other animal you want, and vegetarians are wusses. It takes some real mental gymnastics to be a modern day republican. I guess just do what fox new tells you and don't question it?
Feel better now, 5:12? Tell that Maddow guy hello for me.
