Couple faces prison time after guilty pleas in drug and dogfighting charges

A Monee couple faces prison after pleading guilty to drug and dogfighting charges.

A Will County judge has sentenced 40-year-old Donald Hudgins to two years in prison and his 41-year-old wife, Catherine, to six months in jail.

Both were charged in March of last year with growing and selling marijuana in their Monee home. Authorities found dozens of marijuana plants.

The couple was also charged with training fighting dogs.

Authorities say 12 caged pit bulls found on the Hudgins' property had to be euthanized since they had been trained to fight.
