DAYTON — A Beaumont, Texas man on trial for dogfighting-related charges pleaded no contest to all counts Wednesday morning, as his trial was entering the third day.

Ennis Lungs, 42, will be sentenced Jan. 16 by Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey Froelich.

Lungs and Eric A. Lewis were arrested Oct. 26, 2006 at Lewis' home, 43 Boltin St, after police drove through an alley and spotted a large number of pit bulls in Lungs' minivan and Lewis' yard, according to Montgomery County prosecutors.

Lungs pleaded no contest to 25 counts of possessing a dog for dogfighting and two counts of possessing criminal tools.

On Friday, Lewis pleaded no contest to 14 dogfighting counts and three counts of possessing criminal tools. He will be sentenced Jan. 2 by Froelich.

Lungs' attorney John Rion told the jury Monday that Lungs had a business transporting dogs, but was not involved in dogfighting activity.
