Michael Vick indicted in dogfighting case
By Tom Weir, USA TODAY
The indictment Tuesday of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick on charges of running a dogfighting operation includes gruesome allegations of executing poor-performing animals by hanging and electrocution.

Vick was indicted with three others by a federal grand jury in Virginia. Vick, Purnell A. Peace, Quanis L. Phillips and Tony Taylor are accused of staging often-fatal dogfights since at least 2002 through their Bad Newz Kennels on Vick's property in Surry County, Va.

The four also are charged with transporting dogs across state lines for fights. Conviction on the "Travel Act" laws carries a maximum prison term of five years and a $250,000 fine. Conviction on conducting an animal-fighting venture can be punished by either a one-year sentence, a $100,000 fine or both.

The Surry property, purchased by Vick in 2001, was raided in April by police, who said they found 55 American pit bull terriers and equipment associated with dogfighting.

The 19-page indictment cites eyewitness accounts from three confidential witnesses. It alleges that in April about eight pit bulls were executed by Vick, Peace and Phillips by methods that included "hanging, drowning and slamming one dog's body to the ground."

It also says in March 2003 that Peace consulted with Vick about a female pit bull's condition after losing a fight and that execution followed.

Purses for fights staged on Vick's property are alleged to have been as high as $26,000 and to have drawn kennels from at least seven states.

Phone calls to Vick's attorney Larry Woodward were not immediately returned. After the April raid, Vick said he rarely visited the property and was unaware of any illegal activity there.

The NFL said it would monitor the case. "The activities alleged are cruel, degrading and illegal," an NFL statement said. "Michael Vick's guilt has not yet been proven, and we believe that all concerned should allow the legal process to determine the facts. The matter will be reviewed."
