SURRY, Va. (AP) - It appears federal officials are taking over the investigation into dogfighting in a home owned by Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick.
Federal law enforcement officials descended on the property today armed with a search warrant and went through the house and its surroundings. Officials found dozen of dogs on the site in late April and evidence of dog fighting.
Commonwealth's Attorney Gerald Poindexter questioned why the federal authorities were getting involved in an investigation that local official were handling properly.
Surry county officials had secured a search warrant in late May based on an informant's information that as many as 30 dog carcasses were buried on the property. But Poindexter objected to the wording of the warrant and it was never executed.
