    FANNIN COUNTY, Ga. (MyFOX Atlanta) – Authorities in Fannin County and animal welfare groups said they busted a major player in the dogfighting world. Al White was behind bars Thursday and his dogs were surrendered to authorities.

    FOX 5's Tony Thomas Reports
    Animal control trucks carried away some of the 22 dogs. A forensic team form the SPCA spent Thursday afternoon collecting evidence and treating the 21 pit bulls, and one mixed breed dog they say were chained around the property.

    "The dogs are thin, they're being medically evaluated. Friendly to people, not friendly to each other," said Laura Bevin of the Humane Society of the U.S.

    The Humane Society, SPCA and local district attorney searched the property after a six month investigation that focused on the 58-year-old White.

    "This guy has been around a long time, some of the dogs are well known in the dog fighting world," said Bevin.

    White's son denied the charges. "There's nothing going on down there. Guy sells dogs, trying to make a living," said White's son, Anthony.

    Investigators said White released all the dogs to animal control. They will be kept there until welfare authorities determine their health.

    Authorities said they hoped White's arrest puts a big dent in dogfighting across the southeast.

    "He is not a small arrest, he is a major player in this arena," said Bevin.

    Authorities said the investigation began with a tip to a hotline that was set up after former Atlanta Falcon Michael Vick was arrested and convicted of dogfighting. The tipster could receive as much as $10,000 in reward money.

    A North Georgia man faces felony charges after a major dogfighting ring bust on his property.
    It happened in Blue Ridge, Georgia, in Fannin County.
    Albert Glenn White faces 22 counts of felony dogfighting.
    Authorities found three dogfighting pits on his property. They also seized 22 dogs, many of which had scars consistent with dogfighting.
    Authorities also tell us they also found suspected dogfighting paraphernalia.
    In Georgia, it's a felony to own, possess, train, transport or sell a dog for the purpose of dogfighting.

    My thoughts exactly Triple. Where is the evidence other than allegations off a "tip line" ??

    You know thats not the point. DO YOU HAVE DOGS? If so I guess I could call the snitch line and say you are a dog fighter and have your ass locked up and your dogs taken. How would that feel? You dont know him and to say that is wrong of you. ITS NOT WRONG TO BREED DOS . J
     
  10. Everyone: Give thanks to the rat/snitch C Ozzie....f@cking guy has been pointing fingers at innocent people to make a buck. I wonder if he is still driving a taxi......It is common to have sh!t to taxi drivers in NYC.:cool:

    Oh so you KNOW FOR FACT he is guilty? Is it because you read it and so it must be true? News flash, if you had a yard of game bred dogs, someone can easily call the police and get you arrested.....you are very dumb if you think that could not happen in "America". The guy was a breeder of this breed and was taken down for that reason. FYI, these people are trying to destroy the breed by destroying the breeders. They are attacking the root. All this time lurking and still as dumb as a door knob.

    Go ahead, call the cops on me... When they come, they will look at me. They will look at my dogs and then they will go back to you and slap you across your head?

    Wake up. You cant get people arrested just by calling the police.. There is something called evidence... Typically pigs have to build a case. It even says in the article that there was a 6 month investigation.

    Have any of you graduated highschool?

    This type of "bust" IS proof that people do and will, and have been arrested for an ignorant jerk calling the police. Innocent people are spending a lot of time in jail because of allegations (aka word of mouth alleged goings on with NO PROOF). Read up on it, it's all over the site. Freedom is just a pipe dream now.
    and yeah, you can bet your ass that many of us have graduated high school and attend higher education.

    All Ihave to do Show your vid of the spring pole THAT could be used (think about it) And could say he is a monster he has dogs in water with shockers on the neck of that mean old pit bull, By the way some of us still like GAME BRED dogs and prefer to buy them from honest breeders. Not every one wants a dog from the pound or a staff. Oh yea befor you say they are water proof look what hapened to the firestone Co things fail. Why do you want a dog that looks like a pit bull anyway so you can look cool for you? Get real man the guys that keep this breed true are the backbone of the dogs and I dont care 6 months or 6 years they dont need much any more to lock you up and its due to minds like yours. But look how cool you think you staff looks on that training dog fighing tool GET MY POINT? NOT YIS J
