After hearing from the Kiowa County Sheriff's Office, the investigation is certainly not over and there could be even more arrests coming.  The sheriff's office didn't release photos of those arrested but did tell us, 22 people were taken into custody at the scene of the cockfighting event.

The sheriff's office had help with those arrests from Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Snyder Police Department.

Deputies say out of those arrested, almost everyone is from western Oklahoma.  The rest are from Texas.
