Two San Bernardino men were sentenced to four months in federal prison for their roles in operating a cockfighting ring for at least a year, federal officials said Monday, Oct. 6.

They are Sergio Jimenez Maldonado, 52; and Cirilo Esquivel Alcantar, 57.

The two men, who were charged along with three other Inland Empire residents last August in connection with a cockfighting ring known as the Duffy Street Property in Muscoy, were also fined $2,000 and will face four months of home detention after they’re released from prison, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.

One defendant from Corona, Isidro Chaparro Sanchez, 59, was earlier sentenced to one month in federal prison. The other two defendants await sentencing in October.
