Six chickens that might have been used for cock-fighting have been seized by Flagstaff police.
Flagstaff PD found four foul in the truck of a man they had stopped for DUI on Saturday.

An animal control officer saw that the birds showed signs of being used for fighting, including shaved combs and elongated spurs.

Another search later turned up another live rooster and hen in a bag.

The birds were making weak chirping sounds, and detectives say that if they had not freed the birds when they did, they likely would have died inside the bag.

Police took custody of the vehicle and will obtain a search warrant for future action. The chickens remain at a shelter.
