Summary
Shocking drone footage has exposed what authorities believe is a major cockfighting ring in Jackson County, leading to the arrest of 61-year-old Eric Alan Hill on gambling and animal cruelty charges. The disturbing video, obtained by an animal rights group, shows dead roosters being removed from a property — sparking a swift investigation. Hill was booked but has since been released, pending court proceedings on August 7th. As the case unfolds, law enforcement is piecing together evidence to determine the full scope of the operation — and whether Hill’s name will be tied to a criminal enterprise that’s been operating under the radar.
