    Besides the dogs, authorities found scales for weighing dogs before a match, breed stands used to mate aggressive dogs, treadmills used to prepare dogs for matches and extensive records noting successes and losses in dogfighting contests, Letten said.

    "They were what are called 'keeps,"' Maloney said of the raided sites. "It's a place for a training regiment to get the dogs ready for fights."

    The Harrison County Sheriff's Department planned to charge those arrested in Mississippi with felony counts of dogfighting. In Louisiana, felony charges were under consideration in St. Bernard Parish, Maloney said.
