A federal agent says a north Georgia mayor, arrested on cockfighting charges, knew exactly what he was doing while attending the weekly events. The feds say the fights were held every Saturday night in Blue Ridge.

Agent John Cagle of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation says Mayor Robert Greene was a regular. Agents shot undercover video during one of the cockfights.

Greene was arrested May 5 and charged with gambling. So was Wayne Rogers, Tommy Rogers, Milton Ross and Clyde Gray. They face charges of commercial gambling, keeping a gambling place and cruelty to animals.

Recently, agents say Mayor Greene was arrested in Kentucky on the same charges.

He was also arrested in Blue Ridge back in 1989 for attending a cockfight.
