Boxer turns himself in on dogfighting and domestic assault charges
Thursday, May 4, 2000 | 2:29 a.m.
Grigsby went to the Sherburne County Sheriff's Department late Tuesday and was released Wednesday morning on $25,000 bail, KMSP-TV reported Wednesday. He was ordered to have no contact with his girlfriend, whom he is accused of assaulting, and prohibited from leaving the country.
He is suspected of running a dogfighting kennel on his girlfriend's property in northeastern Sherburne County in central Minnesota and making crude, amateur videotapes to teach other people how to raise and train fighting dogs.
Authorities believe Grigsby is behind the camera on many of those tapes, which feature his prize fighting dog, Brody, and show dogs viciously attacking one another.
"Brody's killing him, y'all. He's dead, man. He on his last breath," a man says on one videotape.
One tape shows a small boy nearly caught in the middle of two dogs fighting ferociously before he is rescued.
Animal Humane Society officials found 13 pit bulls and two Rottweilers at Grigsby's kennel. The dogs were in poor shape, some emaciated or dehydrated and some with scars and wounds, and had to be destroyed, according to officer Keith Streff.
The criminal complaint on the assault charge says Grigsby threatened to have one of the dogs maul his girlfriend.
Grigsby lost his IBF junior flyweight title last October to Ricardo Lopez of Mexico. His next fight is scheduled in Las Vegas on June 10.
