Memphis animal control officers are putting together their case against a man who apparently raised and housed pit bulls on his property. Animal control investigators are staying tight lipped about this incident, but they say it may be connected to another case they're investigating.

One arrest has already been made. Police were called out to Long Crest road in south Memphis late last night. They found 20 pit bulls, three of which were dead. The animal control officer on the scene wouldn't say if the dogs were being used for fighting, but she was concerned about what was being done to them.

Investigators also confiscated a number of ATV's and an SUV from the property there on Long Crest road.
