On February 26, 2026, Nineteen Indicted Following Year-Long Dogfighting Investigation in Twiggs County
Twiggs County, Georgia — Nineteen individuals have been indicted following a year-long investigation into an alleged dogfighting operation in Twiggs County, the result of an extensive, coordinated effort by local, state, federal, and nonprofit partners committed to protecting animals and public safety.
The investigation was led by the Twiggs County Sheriff’s Office and conducted in close partnership with the Office of the District Attorney, with critical assistance from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, the United States Department of Agriculture, the ASPCA, the Atlanta Humane Society, LaGrange Animal Control, and Laurens County Animal Control.
The indictments, returned by a Twiggs County grand jury, allege that the defendants participated in organized dogfighting activities in violation of Georgia law. The charges stem from a comprehensive investigation involving surveillance, the execution of search warrants, recovery of animals, and the collection of evidence related to animal cruelty and illegal dogfighting practices.
“This case reflects the dedication and persistence of law enforcement and our partners over the course of more than a year,” said Sheriff Darren Mitchum. “Dogfighting is not only an act of extreme cruelty to animals, but it is often associated with other forms of criminal activity that endanger our communities.”
Harold McLendon of the Office of the District Attorney emphasized the importance of collaboration in bringing the case forward. “This investigation demonstrates what can be accomplished when agencies work together toward a common goal,” he said. “We are grateful for the expertise and commitment of each agency involved, particularly those responsible for the rescue, care, and evaluation of the animals affected.”
The Georgia Department of Agriculture and animal-welfare partners played a critical role in the seizure, care, and placement of dogs recovered during the investigation. The ASPCA, Atlanta Humane Society, Angels for the Underdogs, and LaGrange Animal Control provided specialized support to ensure the animals received appropriate medical attention, behavioral assessment, and humane treatment.
Violations of Georgia’s RICO Act and dogfighting statutes are felony offenses under Georgia law. The Office of the District Attorney will prosecute the cases in Twiggs County Superior Court. All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
Additional information will be released as appropriate as the cases proceed through the judicial process. ... See MoreSee Less
