Overview
- Corey Elliott, 49, was arrested Tuesday and arraigned in Boston on a federal conspiracy charge under the Animal Welfare Act.
- A judge released him on conditions that limit dogs in the home to his fiancée’s temporary fosters and the household pet.
- Prosecutors say he and a partner ran a ring known as the No Name Gang, hosting fights at his Carver home and building pits and kennels.
- Searches at the partner’s home in June 2023, who has since pleaded guilty, and at Elliott’s property in June 2025 seized scarred pit-bull–type dogs, pedigrees, harnesses, syringes, and veterinary drugs.
- Investigators say the pair used coded language and hid animals from view, and Elliott faces up to five years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine if convicted.
