YOUNGSTOWN

Police found evidence of more cockfighting today on the South Side.

Members of the Community Police Unit and the vice squad found several birds used for fighting while serving a search warrant on East Lucius Avenue about 5:30 p.m. today, a spokesman said.

On Tuesday, U.S. Marshals looking for a wanted man found several birds dead and alive at a home in the 2900 block of Myron Street and other items they say were used to fight the birds. The man has since turned himself in, on charges unrelated to the birds.
