Law & Crime report
Chance Campo, once the district director for a commission that promoted the interests of gamefowl owners in Oklahoma, is now facing a felony charge for his alleged role in refereeing cockfights.
Campo was arrested by the Carter County Sheriff’s Office in June and charged by the Oklahoma District Attorney Craig Ladd last month for one count of furthering and facilitating cockfights, according to criminal information records. That included refereeing the birds at the fight, advertising the fight and serving as a stakeholder for any money wagered.
Cockfighting has been illegal in the U.S. since 2021. According to the Humane Society of the United States, 42 states currently classify it as a felony. Oklahoma banned it in 2002.
