Arizona Foreclosure Investor Discovers Home May Have Hosted Dogfights

In Maricopa County, Arizona, the East Valley Tribune reports:
  • Bruce Jaynes purchased a home late last year, sight unseen in a foreclosure deal, only later to discover what he determined were remains of a dog-fighting training ground. He and girlfriend Sharon Pihl found 32 different stakes with chains in the ground, along with a darkened shed, of which the bottom flooring covered a deep pit the couple believed was used for the burial of the dogs. [...] “There were a couple guys coming in trucks loaded up with pit bulls looking for the former owners,” Pihl said. “After we started querying (the neighbors) about it, that’s when we found out that’s what they were doing.”
