Authorities continue their search for a Clemmons man in connection with dozens of dogs seized in an animal cruelty and dog-fighting case.

The Forsyth County Sheriff's Department says animal control officers received an animal neglect complaint last week and found 81 pit bull dogs and puppies on Craver Land Road.

Two dogs were dead. The others were malnourished and emaciated, had open wounds and sores and were in need of medical attention.

Deputies found several dogs near the front of the house at the house in western Forsyth County and others living in barrels in a wooded area.

Warrants have been issued for Eric Scott Armstrong of Clemmons on charges of dog fighting and animal cruelty.

The dogs are being cared for at undisclosed locations around the county.
