DALLAS (1080 KRLD) - The auction for the Robert E Lee statue removed from a Dallas park, ended just before noon Wednesday and the winning bidder got it for $1,435,000.

The bidder only went by LawDude on the website.


The Dallas city council set a minimum $450,000 bid requirement to cover what it cost the city to remove it from the former Lee Park two years ago.

The sculpture is worth around $1 million and has been sitting inside a storage facility since being removed.

The winning bidder must agree not to put the statue in a place that is visible from public property.
