FALLBROOK, Calif.—Authorities have uncovered a cockfighting arena in Fallbrook.
San Diego County Sheriff's Lt. Anthony Ray says deputies responded to a report of roosters crowing at an avocado grove around 10 a.m. Sunday.

When they arrived they found the arena as well as alcohol and food vendors among the trees.

About 100 people ran away as deputies approached. Some 25 people were detained, along with dozens of vehicles.

Deputies also called U.S. Border Patrol agents and the County Department of Animal Services to assist.

Animal Services Lt. Dan DeSousa says about 300 roosters were found on the property. Officers found one dead and one injured bird, as well as cockfighting paraphernalia.
