90 roosters rescued, one arrested in Lamesa cockfighting search warrant

Summary by The Lubbock Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Randy Bilbrey, EverythingLubbock (KAMC+KLBK) · July 24, 2026 · 1 min read

The Lamesa Police Department released a statement regarding a search warrant that was executed within the city of Lamesa as part of an investigation into alleged cockfighting activities.

Why this matters in The Lubbock

The recent search warrant in Lamesa that led to the rescue of 90 roosters and an arrest has implications for the broader Lubbock area. As a neighboring city, Lamesa's experiences with animal cruelty and illicit activities can inform Lubbock's own approaches to public safety. The fact that cockfighting, a crime often linked to other forms of organized crime, was allegedly occurring in the region suggests that law enforcement agencies in Lubbock County should remain vigilant. Lubbock residents may want to consider supporting local animal welfare organizations and reporting any suspicious activities to the authorities. Furthermore, the Lubbock Independent School District may see this as an opportunity to educate students about animal welfare and the consequences of animal cruelty, promoting a culture of compassion and respect for all living beings within the community.
