Ted Martin Vick
DTo be claimed
On May 23, 2012, Vick was arrested in Columbia, S.C. and was charged with speeding, DUI and unlawful carrying of a gun. Vick was taken into custody after police stopped him for speeding and refused a breathalyzer test. Vick had with him in his car a 21-year-old University of South Carolina college student. On May 25, 2012, just before noon, Vick officially dropped out of the 7th Congressional race due to his May 23 arrest. Vick's campaign released the following statement regarding dropping out of the race "After spending time with my family, my pastor and my friends, I have decided to end my campaign for the United States Congress. While I have full confidence that the legal system will clear much of this up, it will not change the fact that I made some serious mistakes that I alone am responsible for. I realize that I have caused pain to those who love and support me and it's my responsibility to make this right. Now is the time to allow the legal system to work, time for me to concentrate on my family and time for me to focus on the needs of my State House constituents. I look forward to spending more time at home with my family and constituents."
