💨 Abstract

A former NFL player, Leshon Eugene Johnson, has been convicted on six felony counts for his involvement in a large-scale dogfighting operation. Johnson, 54, was acquitted of 17 other similar counts but faces up to five years in prison and fines for each conviction. He operated Mal Kant Kennels, where he bred and sold pit bulls known for winning dog fights. The FBI and US Marshals seized 190 dogs from his properties.
