· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The investigation began when a helicopter pilot from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), during a routine aerial patrol, noticed numerous vehicles gathered at the property and alerted state agents. Upon arrival, they observed several individuals fleeing the area and requested support from the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office. Shortly after, the property owner, identified as 41-year-old Arnulfo Arizmendi, consented to an inspection of a warehouse located on the premises. During the search, agents found several roosters, a dead rooster, and other items that authorities say are consistent with cockfighting activities. Additionally, investigators interviewed witnesses who claimed that Arizmendi allegedly charged an admission fee to enter the venue and attend the event.
