MONTGOMERY, AL.- A Texas man has received the maximum five year sentence in prison for admitting to dog fighting in Alabama and Mississippi.
Demontt Allen, of Houston, was sentenced Wednesday in Montgomery, AL. by U.S. District Keith Watkins.
Allen said he trained pitbulls for dog fights and admitted to leaving one dog fight in Auburn winning $35,000. He also said he attended a two day dog fight in northern Mississippi that is known as the Super Bowl of dog fights.
The judge said he gave the maximum sentenced because Allen was involved in dog fighting for years and exhibited extreme cruelty.
