In August 2013, former Coos County sheriff’s deputy John Wesley Walker was indicted by a federal grand jury along with 17 others, including his wife, in connection with a cockfighting operation in eastern Oregon.

The case drew significant media attention due to the involvement of a law enforcement officer in such activities.
