It sounds like that\u2019s the type of information they gathered to hit the place to begin with. And as you pile evidence on evidence, on evidence on evidence, you eventually build that picture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The owner of the dogs was not in custody.
