The Madison Police Department announced last week 11 dogs seized during an October traffic stop are now available for adoption. Once meant to fight or serve as bait, these pups now look forward to a much better life.
Quite a few readers had questions about the case so The Kingfish went to the source and interviewed Madison Police Investigator Michael Greene.
The story begins back on October 4 when Madison police issued the following statement on Facebook:
On October 4, 2022 at approximately 11:30am, an officer with the Madison Police Department Criminal Interdiction Unit conducted a traffic stop on Interstate 55 southbound near the 108-mile marker in the City of Madison. During this stop, the officer became suspicious of criminal activity and during a probable cause search of the vehicle, the officer recovered marijuana along with several dogs that were inside multiple cages throughout the van. The dogs were malnourished and one of the dogs had injuries consistent with dog fighting.An investigator with animal control was called to the scene and the 11 dogs were immediately taken to a local veterinarian for emergency care and treatment. All of the injuries were documented and the investigation is ongoing.
Edward T. Bronaugh, age 56, of Indianapolis, Indiana was arrested and charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance, Transporting Dogs for the Purpose of Dog Fighting and Animal Cruelty. The investigation is ongoing and District Attorney John “Bubba” Bramlett was contacted. The case will be forwarded to his office for prosecution and potential forfeiture proceedings based upon the animal cruelty and transportation charges.Bronaugh is currently being held at the Madison County Detention Center awaiting his initial appearance in the City of Madison Municipal Court.
The investigation is still active. The case was transferred to the District Attorney.

Then there was this mama dog and her pups.
These two pups had Parvo at the time of the arrest. Fortunately, they made a full recovery.
Remember Mama Dog? She is now Princess Blue and has already been adopted.

Kingfish note: It was a pleasure touring the Webster Animal Shelter in Madison. Animal Control Officer Vicky Curry runs a tight little ship that is a credit to the city it serves. The city-owned shelter shows how animal rescue should operate, unlike the city of Jackson where animal rescue is treated as a license to steal while dogs are mistreated.

What a POS !
Put his fat ass on the side of I-55 during rush hour and see if he can make it to the other side. Each time he makes it, take a year off of his sentence.
Those with small children should not adopt a pit Bull. They have proven to be dangerous. It’s usual the ones where their owners say” the dog is so sweet, so great around children, would never hurt a flea”.
Not sure these dogs would be appropriate for adoption. Sad case all around and I feel for these poor dogs but would be very uncomfortable in their presence especially if children were around.
Come here little puppy dog and bring me all momma's money 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why is it named Webster Animal Shelter?
