\nA Louisville man accused of running a dog fighting ring has been arrested by Louisville Metro police.<\/p>\n
Louisville Metro Police Department said their Animal Cruelty Enforcement Unit was recently tipped off about the man and his Louisville dog fighting ring.<\/p>\n
According to police, 47 year-old Kareem Garner is considered \u2018prolific\u2019 in the dog fighting world and is particularly well known in the region, operating his dog fighting ring for a long time.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, police executed a search warrant at Garner\u2019s house in the 1300 block of Lillian Avenue. They found four dugs living in feces-infested kennels or trapped in leg-high mud. Several of the dogs had heartworms. Officers also found dog fighting paperwork, weighted collars, carpet mills, scales, spring poles, supplements and medications, and other evidence indictive of dog fighting.<\/p>\n
Garner has been charged with four counts of dog fighting and four counts of animal cruelty. He is scheduled to appear in court July 12.<\/p>\n
All four dogs have been taken to Louisville Metro Animal Services where they are being cared for.
