This story has been making the rounds, but here's from the Arizona Republic yesterday afternoon:

Chandler Police have no leads in a backyard poisoning death that killed two Chihuahuas belonging to former Chandler High and current NFL player Adam Archuleta and his girlfriend.

The two 12-year-old dogs belonged to Jennifer Walcott, Archuleta's girlfriend and a former Playboy playmate, and were being cared for by Archuleta's mother's at her home in the 1200 block of West Galveston Street, near Alma School Road and Chandler Boulevard.
According to police, on Dec. 26 Vange Archuleta returned home and found the dogs dead. "At first, she thought one had died of old age," said Detective David Ramer, a Chandler police spokesman.

But nope, it was tainted meatballs laced with strychnine, police said.

I just wrote four tasteless quips about this story, one of which was potentially funny, but then I decided they were too tasteless and would make animal lovers quite angry, plus the joke about Archuleta failing to catch the killer due to a lack of closing speed didn't even make any sense since he was out of town at the time. If you want to read tasteless jokes (or see quite revealing photos of Archuleta's Playboy model girlfriend), try Busted Coverage or With Leather.
