S.C. attorney general unveiling hot line for dogfighting tips
By The Associated PressThursday, May 15, 2008COLUMBIA, S.C. - Attorney General Henry McMaster is expanding his efforts to fight dogfighting in South Carolina.
McMaster announced Thursday the creation of a new statewide Crimestoppers hot line and Web site where callers can report tips about suspected dogfighting.
If the tips result in a conviction, McMaster says reward money will be distributed on behalf of the Humane Society of the United States.
McMaster says billboards will also be used statewide to advertise the phone number and Web site.
In October, McMaster and the Humane Society announced a new effort to reward those who report dog fighting in their communities. The Humane Society has since offered rewards up to $5,000.
