Smithfield, VA - The Atlanta Falcons say they are gathering information before commenting about the latest mess involving quarterback Michael Vick.
Police conducting a drug investigation raided a Virginia house owned by Vick and found dozens of dogs, some injured and emaciated.
Police also found items associated with dog fighting.
State Police Sergeant D.S. Carr says Vick's relative, 26-year-old Davon Boddie, lives in the house. Carr says Vick owns the property, but doesn't live there and wasn't present when a search warrant was executed in a drug investigation Wednesday night.
Hampton, Virginia, police arrested Boddie outside a nightclub a week ago on charges of distribution of marijuana.
Officials say more than 60 dogs were found in three buildings. Some appeared malnourished, scarred, and injured.
The animal rights group PETA has asked Falcons owner Arthur Blank to suspend Vick pending the investigation and "to kick him off the team if it is found that dogs on Vick's property were neglected or used for fighting."
Falcons spokesman Reggie Roberts said yesterday that the team had no immediate comment.
