22 Arrests in Virginia Heroin Distribution Ring Made
Posted on Dec 10, 2009
Associated Press, December 10, 2009
Michael Vick’s uncle is among 22 people charged with participating in a drug ring that distributed hundreds of grams of heroin in eastern Virginia.
Authorities said today that 57-year-old Joseph Vick Jr. of Newport News is accused of being a midlevel distributor.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office confirmed that Joseph Vick is the uncle of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, who was released from federal custody in July after serving 20 months for a dogfighting conspiracy.
U.S. Attorney Neil H. MacBride and FBI special agent Alex J. Turner announced today’s arrests after court documents were unsealed. It’s unclear whether Joseph Vick has retained a lawyer.
All 22 defendants are charged with conspiracy to distribute 100 grams or more of heroin. The maximum penalty if convicted is 40 years in prison.
According to court records, several fatal overdoses over the past two years were attributed to heroin distributed by the drug ring.
