(WSB Radio)  An Atlanta man is going to prison for 10 years for running what police call a major dogfighting operation.

33 year old Ossia Phillips pleaded guilty in Fulton County Superior Court to 15 counts of dogfighting and 2 counts of aggravated animal cruelty.

In December 2007, police found 15 pit bulls and the bodies of several more, behind Phillips' property in Ben Hill. 

A fighting ring was found in the woods behind the house.
