Walker County Sheriff’s deputies arrested seven people Sunday evening after they responded to a complaint of cockfighting at 473 Hurtt Road in Chickamauga, according to Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson.
Upon arrival, deputies saw the suspects gathered in an open faced shed. Inside the shed was a cage with two roosters fighting.
When deputies announced themselves, the suspects fled the scene. Eventually, all of the suspects were apprehended and arrested.
Deputies found one rooster with spurs on its feet. The spurs are commonly found on roosters that are used in fighting, Sheriff Wilson said. Deputies also found 11 dead chickens.
