Description

Former NFL running back LeShon Johnson was convicted on six counts of dogfighting conspiracy and animal fighting after a five-day trial, with prosecutors revealing he ran a multi-year, hundred-thousand-dollar operation using pit bulls — including breeding “Big Mike” — across Oklahoma properties where over 100 dogs were seized. His defense admitted the case’s severity but noted some charges stemmed from activities he’d already stopped. The jury found him guilty of keeping, selling, and possessing dogs for fighting, with evidence tying him to at least 20 dogs used in fights over six years.
