Vick sells house connected to dog fighting
Dozens of pit bulls were seized from the home NFL quarterback Michael Vick owned in Surry County last month. 13News has learned that Vick has sold the home at the center of the investigation. It was a quick sell. On the same day it was listed, it sold. The asking price was $350,000, nearly half of the assessed property value. Known for defying defenses, Vick scrambled when rushed by reporters, all hoping the Newport News native would answer questions of his alleged involvement in a dog fighting ring. "When the investigation is over, I will be more than happy to answer any questions you have for me," said Vick. Vick may not be talking in Atlanta, but he is definitely making moves in Virginia. Early this week he sold the Surry County mansion and the 15 acres it sits on.
