Former NFL player LeShon Johnson charged in FBI’s largest dog fighting bust, 190 animals seized: indictment

LeShon Eugene Johnson of Oklahoma pleaded guilty in similar case in 2004

Former NFL running back LeShon Eugene Johnson has been indicted on 21 charges in a massive federal dog fighting bust that led to the recovery of 190 pit bulls, according to the Justice Department.

Federal authorities said they believe it’s their largest seizure of fighting dogs from a single individual in U.S. history.

Johnson, a 54-year-old from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, is accused of operating a large-scale breeding and trafficking operation known as “Mal Kant Kennels” as well as raising fighting dogs himself.

He pleaded guilty to similar charges at the state level in 2004.
