PORTSMOUTH, Via. (May 31, 2007) -- Informants have come forward saying Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was involved in dogfighting, a prosecutor investigating the case said.

Brown and Surry County Commonwealth's Attorney Gerald G. Poindexter told WAVY-TV of Portsmouth, Virginia, there is evidence linking Vick to dogfighting, which is a felony in Virginia.

"We have informants," Poindexter told the station in an interview. "We have people who are volunteering to make those allegations."

The case began April 25 when police conducting a drug investigation raided the house Vick owned in rural Surry County and found dozens of dogs. They also found items associated with dog fighting, including a "pry bar" used to pry apart a dog's jaws.

No charges have been filed in the case.

Vick, a registered dog breeder, has blamed relatives for taking advantage of his generosity and insisted he's rarely at the house -- even though he's the owner. He has since sold the home.

Poindexter also told WAVY-TV that he has not yet executed a search warrant on the property because he didn't like the language of the warrant.

They're saying theres "possible" tapes of him fighting to, which really would fuck him over. Theres no way hes getting out of this situation cleanly ethier because hes atleast going to get the hammer for owning dogs that were bred to fight.
