Additional Arrests In Cockfighting Network Case
More arrests are made in connection with the breakup of a Mohawk Valley cockfighting network earlier this week. According to Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s office, Juan Jose Lucca Vega, and Wanda Santos, both of Utica broke the padlocks on barn doors at a Town of Poland farm where the birds were being housed as evidence and tried to steal the animals. Schneiderman's office is investigating whether Vega and Santos were involved in the cockfighting network or had ties to any of those arrested.
