Deputies stopped an auto on I-70 carrying 17 roosters as well as "various blades and equipment consistent with cockfighting," the Eagle County Sheriff's Office said. They also found narcotics and a large amount of U.S. currency and arrested three suspects. The sheriff's office said: "With the help of Eagle County Animal Services, the roosters were safely removed from the situation, cared for, and given a fresh start at Danzig’s Roost Rooster Sanctuary, where they are now undergoing intake and evaluation." Danzig’s Roost Rooster Sanctuary provides care and placement of game roosters seized during criminal investigations. It is located near Bennett. The arrests occurred last week during a patrol by the sheriff's office's Gore Range Narcotics Interdiction Team - GRANITE. [Photos: Eagle County Sheriff's Office]
