Ex-NFL Player LeShon Johnson Accused of Running Dogfighting Kennel

LeShon Johnson, a former NFL running back, is under federal investigation for allegedly running a major dogfighting kennel. According to U.S. authorities, a large number of pit bull-type dogs, totaling 190, were seized from a property connected to Johnson. This isn't Johnson's first encounter with dogfighting charges. He previously pleaded guilty to state dogfighting charges back in 2004.

The details of the current investigation are still unfolding, but the sheer number of dogs seized indicates a potentially significant operation. Dogfighting is a serious crime in the United States, often associated with animal cruelty and other illegal activities. The investigation will likely delve into the extent of the dogfighting operation, the treatment of the animals involved, and any potential connections to other criminal enterprises. Johnson's past conviction will likely play a role in the current proceedings.
