Per The New York Times:

A Department of Defense communications official was charged with promoting a dogfighting ring, the U.S. attorney’s office in Maryland said on Monday.

The official, Frederick Douglass Moorefield Jr., 62, of Arnold, Md., was a deputy chief information officer for command, control and communications, according to the affidavit and Mr. Moorefield’s LinkedIn page, which said he had been with the department for 11 years.

According to the affidavit, Mr. Moorefield and another defendant, Mario Damon Flythe, 49, of Anne Arundel County, Md., communicated using encrypted messaging applications to discuss how to train dogs for illegal dogfighting, to coordinate dogfights, to discuss betting on dogfighting and to discuss dogs that had died as a result of dogfighting.

Mr. Moorefield and Mr. Flythe used the names “Geehad Kennels” and “Razor Sharp Kennels” to identify their dogfighting operations, the affidavit said. They also discussed with others across the United States how to conceal their conduct from law enforcement.
