Detroit— It was remarkably swift action, coming just days after a video went viral allegedly showing a local rapper bragging about dogfighting and offering a tour of the site: Police and humane society workers swooped in Wednesday and removed animals from a west side home believed to be the site.
Officers with a search warrant entered the home on the 12200 block of West Outer Drive just before noon, Detroit Police said.
Police and the Michigan Humane Society began investigating after receiving tips about the video allegedly showing someone who appears to be Young Calicoe touring an unidentified home with roosters and barking pit bull-like dogs in kennels. The tour guide calls them "champions in the making." At other times, a man refers to fighting dogs. "I hope we don't get indicted for that — that Michael Vick-type (expletive)," he said in reference to the NFL quarterback imprisoned for his role in a dogfighting ring.
