"Cock fighting" chickens being raised in Marshalltown

February 5, 2005 By admin

Several chickens that cops believe were being raised for cock fighting have been rescued in Marshalltown. Marshalltown police served a search warrant at a Marshalltown residence on Friday. Six chickens were found along with knives, spurs, and other items associated with cock fights. Information obtained during that search led to the search of another residence where an estimated 50 to 60 more chickens were discovered. Ignacio Lizarde-Herra and Juan Sanchez Armas are both charged with multiple counts of raising chickens for fighting and possession of such birds. They are also charged with raising poultry in a residential area. Marshalltown Police Chief Lon Walker says this is the first time they’ve found chickens raised as fighting birds in the city.
