(AP) -- The Norfolk office of the FBI is
investigating death threats against ESPN sportscaster and "Dancing
With the Stars" contestant Erin Andrews, indicating they may have
originated in that state.


 Norfolk FBI spokesman Phil Mann said Monday that no arrests have
been made. He declined to comment on a report by the celebrity
gossip site TMZ that the e-mails were sent from someone in Newport
News.


 Andrews' attorney Marshall Grossman said last week that since
September at least a dozen e-mails have been sent to a media outlet
threatening his client.


 He said the messages discuss the case of Michael David Barrett,
who was sentenced last month to 2½ years in federal prison for
secretly shooting nude videos of Andrews.


 Grossman says the e-mails were at first sexual but the most
recent threatened her.
