Man Arrested for Allegedly Running a Dog Fighting Operation with Over 100 Pitbulls

Authorities in Georgia have arrested a man and accused him of breeding and training 106 pit bulls for dog fighting, sheriff’s officials said.

Paulding County sheriff’s detectives arrested Vincent Lemark Burrell, 55, on Tuesday at his home about 30 miles from Atlanta after a long investigation of a “massive dog fighting operation,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release.

Detectives found unvaccinated pit bulls at the home that had been left outside for days on end and tied to trees or metal stumps in the ground “using large and extremely heavy logging chains and thick collars.” Some of the pit bulls were emaciated, while others were very strong and aggressive toward other dogs, authorities said.
