A Richmond grand jury today indicted two people on more than 60 charges stemming from two alleged dogfighting cases.
The grand jury indicted Deano Alphonsus Jones, 46, on 21 counts each of felony dogfighting and misdemeanor animal cruelty.
The charges stem from the seizure of 21 dogs from Jones' home in the 1700 block of North 23rd Street.
Also today, the grand jury indicted Ardeller Morris, 61, on 10 counts of felony dogfighting and 11 counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty. She already faced one count of dogfighting.
She and her son, Richard E. Robinson, both have been charged in connection with an alleged dogfighting operation at the home they shared in the 2100 block of Wright Avenue in South Richmond.
Robinson was convicted in December of one misdemeanor count of animal cruelty and three felony charges. A jury recommended he serve 10 years in prison. Formal sentencing is set for later this month. -- Reed Williams
