Three men face felony charges after police interrupted a dogfight on Chicago’s South Side. Cook County Sheriff’s Police arrested more than 50 people in the incident, which involved two pitbulls. Police say one of the dogs was so badly injured, it could barely stand. Charged with dogfighting on Sunday were 38-year-old Donaver Jones of Riverdale and Joliet residents 37-year-old Melvin Trent and 35-year-old Timothy Norris. It wasn’t immediately clear if the men had attorneys. Officers swept the basement of a house on Saturday evening and found dozens of people betting on the dogfight. The crowd included teenagers. Police confiscated three handguns and a box of steroids, amphetamines and syringes which were "used to keep the dogs aggressive and alive." AP ______ Copyright 2008 Associated Press.
