ATLANTA — More than a hundred dogs were rescued from a Paulding County home after a man was arrested this week for running a dog-fighting operation, authorities said.
Vincent Lemark Burrel is facing charges of cruelty to animals and dog fighting, but the sheriff’s office said law enforcement officials “expect over 100 additional counts against Burrell as this case continues to unfold.” He is being held at the Paulding jail without bond.
The 55-year-old is accused of facilitating a massive dog-fighting operation at his Dallas home and breeding the dogs, officials said. During the investigation, detectives said, they found 106 dogs tied to various objects with large and extremely heavy logging chains and thick collars.
