Two of the four pit bull terriers seized Thursday in Tecumseh as part of a multistate dogfighting raid bear scars from fighting, an official with the Nebraska Humane Society said Friday.

The dogs were seized Thursday afternoon from the home of Julio Reyes, who was indicted on dogfighting charges Wednesday by a federal grand jury, and another Tecumseh property.

Reyes is one of seven people indicted in western Missouri and accused of betting thousands of dollars on at least three fights this year. Nationally, 26 people have been accused by U.S. attorneys after federal, state and local authorities conducted raids in Missouri, Illinois, Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa and Mississippi this week. No other Nebraskans were charged.

Authorities said their search of Reyes' home also turned up animal-fighting paraphernalia.

The four dogs were taken to the Nebraska Humane Society in Omaha, where they were examined Friday.

"There's indications of dogfighting scars on two of the dogs," said Mark Langan, the society's vice president of field operations. He said the scars were not fresh.

The society will hold the dogs at its shelter as long as Reyes' case is open. It's unknown what might happen to them once the case is closed, he said.

When Reyes appeared in U.S. District Court in Lincoln Thursday, federal public defender John Vanderslice said Reyes' dogs in Tecumseh were "family pets." But Assistant U.S. Attorney Alan Everett noted that court officials visiting Reyes' home prior to the search found the dogs in four separate kennels, which could indicate they had been trained to fight. Judge Richard Kopf ruled that Reyes could keep the dogs, but about the same time investigators went to Reyes' home with a search warrant and ultimately seized the dogs.

Federal court documents allege the dogfights linked to Reyes took place at a farm in Gilman City in northwestern Missouri.

Nationally, the raids gathered up more than 400 dogs, including some about to give birth to puppies.

The Humane Society of Missouri said it is housing most of the dogs at its emergency shelter in St. Louis. Groups in Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Iowa are taking care of another 75 to 100 dogs, the Missouri group said.
