Break out yer hankies: Sheriff Arpaio may be going after Vick too!
 VERY preliminary, but heard a whiff of it on AM radio this morning in "da ATL." Wonder if Vick likes pink boxers and bologna sandwiches?Joe Arpaio, the sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, says Falcons quarterback Michael Vick may be connected to pit bull fighting operations in Arizona. "He's a person of interest as far as my office is concerned," Arpaio said. "I'm not talking about a case. I'm talking about a person of interest regarding pit bull fighting." Arpaio said Vick's name has been "very familiar" to his office since "a while back." He confirmed that his detectives have contacted Georgia authorities about Vick after the quarterback was indicted on federal charges involving illegal interstate dog fighting. Arpaio is a popular but controversial elected official, and his critics believe he'll say anything to get his name in the paper. But whatever the merits of the Arizona investigation, it's a reminder that even if Vick beats the federal charges, he might have a long way to go before he's in the clear. Vick is constitutionally protected from being tried twice for the same offense, but if there is evidence that he committed multiple acts of dog fighting, animal cruelty or any other crime in multiple states, each individual state could charge him.
