SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A man accused of being the "coordinator" of a large-scale cock-fighting ring in Herkimer County was in the U.S. illegally, federal officials said.
Radhames Perez, 37, was sentenced to two years in prison today for illegally re-entering the United States. He will likely be deported a second time after serving his prison term.
Perez, who lived in Utica before his arrest, was caught by immigration enforcement officials after the cock-fighting ring he allegedly ran was busted earlier this year.
Perez, who also went by "Cesar" and "Edwin," is a citizen of the Dominican Republic. A Manhattan court convicted him of selling crack cocaine in May 2003, after which he was removed from the U.S. for the first time.
The state attorney general's office said in June that Perez coordinated cock-fights at a property in Frankfort, Herkimer County.
He contacted rooster owners to invite them to bring their animals to the barn, got his girlfriend to charge admission and had his mother cook food to sell, officials said.
Officials said the animals were forced to fight with razors strapped to their feet. Participants made bets between $50 and $800 on which birds would survive.
DAMN YOU, TRUMP!!!
Upstate bump
[insert Anthony Weiner joke here]
Please don’t use “insert” in the same sentence as “weiner,” thank you very much. ;-)
He was just coordinating the cock fights that Americans refused to coordinate.
It was an act of love.
He’s doing the coordination of large-scale cock-fighting that Americans won’t do.
Figures.
The Dominican Republic is sending us their best.
Over-and-over.
The Louisiana State Police hired Boudreaux to investigate cock fighting in Lake Charles.
Boudreaux came back and reported, “Dere’s tree groups involved in the cock fighting: The Aggies, the Cajuns and the Mafia.
Sergeant said that’s great work Boudreaux, how’d you come to that conclusion?” (Aggies are from Texas A&M).
Boudreaux said: “I knew the Aggies were involved when someone entered a duck in the cock fight.”
“I knew the Cajuns were involved when people started to bet on the duck, because Cajuns will bet on anything.”
“And I knew the mafia was involved when the duck won.”
I bet the roosters don’t kneel during the playing of the national anthem.
Someone had prepare the birds for the fight; probably his job was enrage the cocks - from an old Cheech Marin routine.
He contacted rooster owners to invite them to bring their animals to the barn, got his girlfriend to charge admission and had his mother cook food to sell, officials said.
Now you know what happens to the “losers”.
The phrase demands it!
Olson Johnson: What are we made of? Our fathers came across the prairies, fought Indians, fought drought, fought locusts, fought Dix... remember when Richard Dix came in here and tried to take over this town?
I remember a article from Arizona where they recently banned cock fighting and then found out people had switched to wrens. LOL.
What do they call female chicken fights?
