Chandler, Arizona police are investigating the poisoning of several dogs that were being temporarily taken care of by Adam Archuleta’s mom, Vange.

Over this past Christmas, Vange was taking care of the Chicago Bears safety’s greyhound and his girlfriend (Former Playboy Playmate Jennifer Walcott)’s chihuahuas when she returned home to find they had been poisoned.

Meatballs filled with green pellets were found in the backyard. The greyhound survived, but the two chihuahuas unfortunately did not. Veterinarians determined the dogs had been poisoned with strychnine.

So far the Chandler Police have a short list of suspects:

Michael Vick: Sure, he’s in jail. But silly things like alibis don’t always stop Arizona police.
Disgruntled Bears fans: The Bears faithful were not exactly impressed with Adam Archuleta’s performance last year. How many Bears fans would actually sacrifice a meatball though, rather than eating it themselves?
Milton Waddams: He could put strychnine in the guacamole. It wouldn’t be a stretch to put strychnine in the meatballs.

Needless to say, the Chandler Police have no serious leads in the case, though they have presumably conducted a full investigation of Jennifer Walcott’s Playboy spreads.
