28- year- old Quanis Phillips,
also known as "Q" entered court first
this morning, 35- year- old Peace,

nicknamed "P-Funk" or "Funk" walked a
few steps behind.....

{END INSERT HERE}

A dozen PETA protesters greeted
them with pictures of mangled dogs.

Inside, both men told Judge Henry
Hudson the government got it right....
they're guilty of traveling outside
Virginia to participate in dog-
fighting.

The two men say, they, along with
Vick operated Bad Newz Kennels.... a
business enterprise that involved
illegal gambling.

It's here at this Surry County
property that the men say they "rolled"
or "tested" dogs by putting them
through fighting sessions.

Peace and Phillips say they,
along with Vick executed some eight
dogs that didn't perform well....
methods included hanging and drowning.

Phillips is now in U-S custody
after flunking a drug test.

He has three previous drug
convictions.

the problem that has turned up in Crazy
Horse Cove.

If left untreated, the weed could
make it nearly impossible to boat or
swim.

County leaders hope to prevent
that.

Boaters in the area are
encouraged to stay away from the
shoreline and reduce their speed.

Also, homeowners in the cove are
warned not to use the water on their
lawn or gardens.

Swimming and fishing are okay.

The treatment should last about
six weeks.
