Michigan authorities seize 46 dogs in dogfighting probe


MASON, Mich. (AP) — Authorities in two Michigan counties have seized a total of 46 dogs as part of a long-running investigation into dogfighting.

Ingham County Animal Control Director John Dinon says the dogs have been seized from homes in Ingham and Eaton counties in an ongoing investigation that began several months ago.

Dinon tells the Lansing State Journal animal control officers began seizing the canines after they found evidence of dogfighting in March or April while investigating animal cruelty reports.

He says officers served search warrants last Thursday at three locations in Ingham County and one location in Eaton County.

Dinon says 16 dogs were taken in by Ingham County Animal Control and 10 dogs were taken in by Eaton County Animal Control in those raids.

 

Ex-Mayor Kilpatrick  to return to Detroit for court hearing


DETROIT (AP) — Imprisoned ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is returning home for a federal court hearing on his efforts to remove his 28-year public corruption sentence.

A notice filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Detroit says Kilpatrick is due Aug. 23 before Judge Nancy Edmunds.

Kilpatrick is being held in a federal prison in Oklahoma. He filed a motion in July saying he was convicted of activities that were not against the law and that he also received inadequate assistance from his trial attorney.

He was found guilty in 2013 after resigning in 2008 as mayor due to another scandal.

A federal appeals court and the U.S. Supreme Court have said they will not review Kilpatrick's case.
