120+ people detained, 80 roosters euthanized after cockfighting bust in Gooding County
GOODING, Idaho (KBOI) — A large-scale cockfighting event was busted over the weekend in Gooding County.
The Gooding County Sheriff's Office says deputies were called out to a home north of Gooding Friday night for a noise complaint. When they arrived, deputies went into a shop and found a chicken fight occurring.
Between 120 and 150 people were detained. Deputies are unsure of the exact number, since there were so many people involved. Officials also confiscated 80 roosters, which were later euthanized at the local Gooding County Fairgrounds.
Because there were so many people in attendance, deputies obtained names and addresses and then let everyone go. One person is under investigation for organizing the fight.
Drugs, guns and paraphernalia were also seized during the investigation.
