WILKESBORO
A Wilkes County dog breeder pleaded guilty today to 14 counts of felony dog fighting as part of a plea bargain, and was sentenced to 8 to 10 months in prison, according to the Wilkes County Clerk of Court office.
The breeder, Ed Faron, also must serve a number of terms of supervised probation when he gets out of prison and may not own, possess or care for any dogs, as part of the arrangement.
Faron is to report to prison on March 5.
Wilkes County owns the 127 dogs seized in a raid on Faron's property on Dec. 10, 2008. A number of puppies have also been born since the raid.
