Federal authorities have charged LeShon Johnson, an All-American running back at Northern Illinois in 1993 who played five seasons in the NFL, with running a massive dogfighting ring in his native Oklahoma.
Johnson, 54, received an indictment Tuesday for violating the Animal Welfare Act. The Justice Department said that authorities seized 190 dogs from Johnson's property, "believed to be the largest number of dogs ever seized from a single person in a federal dog fighting case."
