DES MOINES (AP) - Watching a dog fight would be a felony crime under a bill discussed Thursday by a House panel. Jim Lykam, D-Davenport, said the number of such events could drop if spectators knew they faced stiffer punishment.
Utah's courts this year are handling more felony crimes, more child custody fights and more lawsuits involving contract disputes, debt collection and forfeitures than last year. But the financial outlook for the courts seems grim unless the system is permitted to hike filing fees to bring in more money.
Township permitted firefighters to use Township computers for personal use on work time at the firehouse, but did not provide any guidance to them about appropriate usage. Under these circumstances, the trial court abused its discretion in affirming Township Trustees decision to terminate a firefighter who accessed legal, non-pornographic videos on the computer. Trustees decision to repeat their vote on disciplinary action against firefighters in open session after initially voting on the matter in executive session was not improper. Judgment reversed; matter remanded to the trial court for it to vacate the decision of the Trustees.

THORNDALE, Texas - The six dogs that fatally mauled a 76-year- old woman showed no signs of having been used in fights, and felony charges against their owner are unlikely, authorities said. Milam County Sheriff Charlie West said Monday that he and District Attorney Kerry Spears were unable to conclude that owner Jose Hernandez committed a felony. But West said a misdemeanor citation was possible against Hernandez, who kept the pit bull- Rottweiler mixed-breed dogs in a pen.
A case of suspected dogfighting in Vancouver has contributed to the push for tougher animal-fighting laws in Washington. Robert Reder, director of the Humane Society of the United States' Pacific Northwest regional office in Seattle, last year promised to lobby state lawmakers to toughen dogfighting penalties. That pledge came after Vancouver police were unable to build a felony case against a man suspected of training dogs for deadly fights.
BUTLER TWP., Montgomery County -- A Montgomery County Common Pleas Court judge has upheld a State Employee Relations Board decision to return two fired Butler Twp. firefighters to work. Judge Connie S. Price on Monday, March 15, upheld an earlier SERB ruling that ordered Angela Rice and Richard Nihizer reinstated with back pay because they were fired more for their union activities than any improper computer use.

A 53-year-old man who pleaded guilty to dogfighting and drug charges was sentenced Tuesday to a little more than a year in prison. Eduardo Jose Ribaya confessed to possessing more than 40 grams of marijuana, a felony under state law. He also admitted to owning, keeping or training two dogs, named Bojo and Dirty, with the intent of using them for animal fights, a misdemeanor at the time Ribaya was charged.
