[SIZE=-1]"The officers got out of their car to investigate, and they saw the man walk to the rear of the home," Stephens-Bell said. "As they approached, they saw the man rubbing his hands in the snow; there was a red substance in the snow that looked like blood. It appeared he was trying to wash the blood off his hands."

"While some may view dogfighting as a low-priority crime, this type of criminal activity is a magnet that breeds violence in our neighborhoods and cannot be tolerated," Detroit Police Chief James Barren said Monday in a statement. "Anyone who has ever witnessed or heard a dogfight take place never forgets the experience. Dogfighting is an extremely brutal act and anyone who participates deserves maximum charges for animal cruelty."
