The Green Bay Packers are in the midst of an off-season that is trying to take their roster from playoff contender to Super Bowl contender. That started off with two big signings in Aaron Banks and Nate Hobbs.
However, one former Packers starter is seeing his life flipped upside down.
Breaking: Former Packers Starter Arrested In Massive Dog Fighting Scandal; 200 Dogs Saved
Once again, former Packers running back LeShon Eugene Johnson is in serious trouble:
The Haskell-native is facing dog fighting related charges again for the second time in his life. He has been charged in federal court for operating a “large-scale” dog fighting and trafficking operation in Broken Arrow.
The U.S. Department of Justice said Leshon Eugene Johnson appeared in court last week and was charged with possession of 190 pit bull dogs used for an “animal fighting venture and for selling, transporting, and delivering a dog for use in an animal fighting venture.”
He was indicted by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Oklahoma for violations of dog fighting prohibitions of the federal Animal Welfare Act.
The DOJ said federal authorities seized 190 dogs from Johnson in October 2024 as this is believed to be the most dogs ever seized from a single person in a federal dog fighting case.
Johnson stands accused of running a dog fighting operation called “Mal Kant Kennels” in Broken Arrow and Haskell.
Clearly this piece of human garbage learned nothing from Michael Vick 🤬🤬
I hope he gets the max on each and every count‼️

In 2004, he was convicted of state animal fighting charges after running Krazyside Kennels.
The maximum penalty on each count against LeShon Eugene Johnson is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
