DAYTON, Ohio -- Three suspects, connected to a dog-fighting ring, face more than 150 criminal counts.

Police said the men were using the dogs to fight for money and said when they arrested the suspects, they found the dogs, cash and medicines they were using to treat the dogs after fighting them.

The dogs are now at the Montgomery County Animal Resource Center.

On Tuesday, Donyell Moschetti and Ennis Lungs appeared in court.

Police said some of the dogs were covered with cuts and bruises that prove that the men were using them in a cruel way, pitting one against another.

But attorney Jon Rion said his clients are being singled out.

All three men were given a $100,000 bond, but Rion said at least one of his clients will be released shortly after he is formally charged.
