Four men caught with 54 fighting roosters and the tools of the cockfighting trade in Seven Springs are among indictments this month in Wayne County Superior Court.

Atansio Mujica, 59, of Old Mount Olive Highway, Fidel Gonzalez, 44, of Clinton, Javier Arreloa Herrera, 47, Zion Church Road, Seven Springs and German Lopez Silva, 31, of Albertson were all indicted on one Class I felony count of cockfighting, court records show.
