Cops bust LI cockfight ring
It was one fowl fight club.
Suffolk County cops late Saturday smashed a bustling cockfighting operation complete with spectator seating and refreshments.
Police swooped in on a Central Islip residence around 9 p.m. and found a cockfight in full swing in the basement.
They arrested 33 people who convened to wager on the action, and rescued 35 roosters, many with sharpened spikes on their feet.
The residents of the home, Rosa Medero, 37, and Pablo Lopez, 34, were hit with felony animal-fighting counts. The others were given desk-appearance tickets.
