TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - A Marianna man is among those indicted for dogfighting by a federal grand jury.
The indictment charges three men with 51 counts of dogfighting offenses. The United States Department of Justice was investigating drug trafficking and a large scale illegal dogfighting operation involving more than 100 dogs.
Those charged include Jermaine Terrell Hadley, 31, of Quincy, Leonard Stafford, 37, of Gretna, and Decarlise Chapman, 46, of Marianna. Chapman is also an employee of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Investigators say Hadley and Stafford, as well as others, were named in a June 4th indictment, but the others defendants have already pleaded guilty to charges.
