A tip about an upcoming cockfight, brought SHARK investigators face to face with cockfighters.
James Newcomb storming towards SHARK President Steve Hindi to
attack him - Vehicle Adam Fahnestock was driving when ran off the
road by James Newcomb - Steve in the hospital.
On January 3, 2021, SHARK started the year off investigating a cockfighting tip in Ironton, OH. Shortly after the arrival of Steve Hindi and Adam Fahnestock at the suspected location, they were attacked by cockfighters James Newcomb and Shannon Clark.
At the trial of James Newcomb on Friday, November 5, 2021, Newcomb
was convicted of one charge of felony theft, one charge of felony
assault, and one charge of misdemeanor assault. On Wednesday,
November 10, Newcomb was sentenced to 4-6 years in prison, effective
immediately. SHARK appreciates the fine investigative work of
Detective Sergeant Bolinger and Assistant Prosecutor Steve Nord's
handling of this case.
The trial of Shannon Clark will be on November 29-30, 2021. We will
keep you posted.
After James Newcomb and Shannon Clark were charged with felonies for their attacks on Steve Hindi and Adam Fahnestock, they were released on bond awaiting their trial dates.
However, James Newcomb continued to host illegal cockfights on his property in violation of his bond, as seen in undercover video on July 18, 2021.
