[Floyd R. Turbo]

Former New York Giants running back LeShon Johnson faces 21 charges after having 190 dogs seized from him last year, the most ever from a single person in a dogfighting case.

The Department of Justice has announced that the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma unsealed a grand jury indictment charging Johnson with violating the federal Animal Welfare Act.

Johnson, who appeared in court last week, is charged with "possessing 190 pit bull-type dogs for use in an animal fighting venture and for selling, transporting, and delivering a dog for use in an animal fighting venture."

In March 2025, the United States Department of Justice charged Johnson with possession of 190 pit bull dogs used for "animal fighting venture and for selling, transporting, and delivering a dog for use in an animal fighting venture." Authorities said this is believed to be the largest number of dogs taken from a single person in a federal dog-fighting case. If convicted, Johnson is facing a maximum penalty of five years in prison, and a $250,000 fine on each count.

Court documents show that Johnson ran a dog fighting operation in Broken Arrow and Haskell known as "Mal Kant Kennels." In 2004, he pled guilty to animal fighting charges for operating the "Krazyside Kennels." In 2005, he pled guilty to the crime of dog fighting in Hughes County, Oklahoma and received a five-year deferred sentence.

I suppose the dogs will have to be put down, since the life they lived was cruelty. I’m not sure if they can be rehabilitated. LeShon certainly didn’t learn his lesson. It would seem that the authorities also let us down.

Investigators say Johnson “selectively bred ‘champion’ and ‘grand champion’ fighting dogs — dogs that have respectively won three or five fights” as part of his criminal enterprise, which was known as Mal Kant Kennels and was based in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and Haskell, Oklahoma.

He marketed and sold stud rights and offspring from winning fighting dogs to others involving in dog fighting, authorities said, promoting their bloodlines.

Federal prosecutors said they had obtained text messages, emails and money transfer app transactions that show that Johnson had profited from his dogfighting venture.
