Tuesday a federal court confirmed that NFL star Michael Vick has been indicted in the investigation of dog-fighting on his Surry Co. property.
The investigation began in April when State Police went to the property on Moonlight Road to serve a warrant on Vick's cousin, Davon Boddie. At that time, they found dozens of pit bulls and other dog-fighting equipment.
Further investigation of the property yielded documentation associated with dog-fighting. Later, during a federal search, the carcasses of seven pit-bulls were found on the property.
Paperwork filed in July revealed that federal investigators accused Bad News Kennels of running dog-fighting events in several areas in Virginia, in addition to fights in four other states, saying the events had been happening since 2002.
Friday, July 6th, a second search was conducted of the ground around the house, but the results of that search have not yet been released.
