Albert Jordan, makes a plea and gets time served.

Albert Jordan (his story is at Jordan Link) was arrested last year for dog fighting. He was charged with 7 counts of neglect ( not the dog fighting). He spent 171 days in jail.

His case was set for a jury trial on 7/14/10 but he ended up taking a plea. Judge found him guilty and gave him a sentence of time served.

The photos of the dogs do not show any fresh wounds, nothing gory. Shows the living conditions and some old scarring on the dogs. The county attorney filed a fitness to own and a judge passed that judgment. Albert and Wade Jordan are not supposed to own dogs until they petition the court and prove they can take proper care of the dogs. Who knows what they are up to at this point, though.

Darin Christopher sentenced to 13 months jail.

Darin Christopher pled guilty on 7/2/2010 and was sentenced to 13 months jail time and one year probation -- the minimum allowable sentence.

Christopher beat a woman over 65 yrs of age. He also beat her dog in front of her while threatening to kill the dog. The dog was beaten with a frying pan, was missing teeth and had injuries so severe it was unknown at the time whether the dog would survive.

Christopher had recently completely jail time for a previous violent crime.
