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.

Last month officers raided the property discovering 70 dogs, mostly pit bulls, and confiscated equipment known for training fight dogs.

Vick’s relatives lived at the house. Officers were serving a search warrant on Vick's cousin the night they raided the home.

“A lot of people figured it might come to this,” said neighbor Ernest Hardy.

Hardy is not surprised Vick sold the place.

“He's selling a house not because he is guilty of anything alleged against him they have bombarded the man's refugee his place of sanctuary.”

A sanctuary the NFL star says he rarely visited. However, a Sports Illustrated reporter says he's spoken to people who say otherwise.

“The sources I talked to are close to Vick, and say his love for pit bulls goes way back, have placed him at the house and around town getting dog related supply,” said Don Banks.
