The 26 people arrested Saturday and Monday in a dogfighting ring in rural Claiborne County all have been released from the county jail after posting bonds from $5,000 to $15,000.

Claiborne County Sheriff Frank Davis said the last person to post bond was Jerry A. Sandifer, who was charged with being a spectator at the fight busted in a wooded area at 6030 Mississippi 547, between Pattison and Port Gibson.

Sandifer was released on an $8,000 bond.

Davis said most of those arrested were charged as spectators at a dogfight, a felony. The property owner, Bryan K. Eggleston, faces additional charges and was released on a $15,000 bond.

The defendants, from Mississippi, Texas and Alabama, will each have a hearing on Dec. 9 in Claiborne County’s circuit court, Davis said.

Claiborne deputies and a state game warden seized 13 dogs, an undisclosed amount of cash, weapons and at least 30 vehicles in the raid that followed a tip.

Davis said he expects more arrests as vehicle owners attempt to claim their seized vehicles.

The dogs are being housed at the Vicksburg-Warren Humane Society on U.S. 61 South while awaiting an expected order by 22nd Circuit Court District Judge Lamar Pickard for euthanization.

The Claiborne sheriff’s department has not provided ages and addresses of defendants.
