YORK, Pa. -- A York Conty man has pleaded guilty to animal fighting,
firearms and marijuana charges for being involved in dog fighting.

Officials said Watkins agreed to a two- to four-year prison sentence in
a plea agreement to avoid trial on animal cruelty charges.

Police and officers of the York County Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals searched Watkins' house in February 2004 after
receiving reports of an underfed pit bull.

Officials said they found the dog, a dog-fighting pit with traces of
blood, dog-fighting equipment, medications and syringes.

Police said a small amount of marijuana and a rifle with a clip and
ammunition also were seized.

Kalief Watkins, 30, is free on $54,000 bail pending sentencing Nov. 18.
