Case ID: 11862 Classification: Fighting Animal: dog (pit-bull) View more cases in MD (US) Login to Watch this Case

Police last week helped animal control officers raid a rowhome on Rutland Avenue, where several pit bulls were removed.

Charges in that case could be forthcoming, and acting police Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld said arrests for dog fighting � punishable in Maryland by up to three years in prison, one year just for attending a fight � will lead to arrests in other crimes.

�As horrific as it is for the dogs, it has social ramifications back to the fabric of the community,� Bealefeld said.
