Denver Nuggets forward Chris "Birdman" Andersen's home was searched and property was seized by investigators on Thursday morning, according to multiple reports. TMZ.com and 9News.com in Denver both report that Andersen is believed to be the target of an ongoing investigation into an Internet criminal case. Andersen reportedly had property seized from his home by Douglas County Sheriff's Office Internet Crimes Against Children investigators. Andersen was not arrested in connection with the investigation. According to both of the reports, the sheriff's department received a tip in regards to Andersen back in February from a California law enforcement agency.
