Vick arrested, accused of brandishing firearm (the Marcus Freak show continues)
Fox Sports ^ | Jan 9, 2006 | Foxsports

Former Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick appears to have run afoul of the law again.

According to WAVY-TV in Hampton Roads, Va., Vick turned himself in to authorities Monday afternoon and is charged with three counts of brandishing a firearm Sunday night. Police say they received a call from the parent of a 17-year-old who said that Vick had pointed a gun at her son and two others during an altercation at a McDonald's parking lot in Suffolk, Va.

Police responded to the scene, interviewed witnesses, and issued three misdemeanor warrants.

Vick is being held on a $10,000 bond. If Vick is convicted, he could face up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine.

He's a genius. Now he'll be able to start a successful hip-hop career. The longer the rap sheet, the more he'll make.

If he burps on a CD, it'll sell millions because he's an actual thug.

they need to come up with a new catagory for college players to indicate sitting out a year due to legal entanglement/probation.

So instead of the 'Injured Reserve' list, we could have...

the LAP (Legal Action Pending) list....or the ...

CAR (Court Appearance Required) list...or the....

HDT (Has to Do Time) list......

I'm glad Nascar is around. Minor glitch once in awhile but nothing like these thugs.

I predict Vick will go the way of Major Harris. (Who's he ?...See !) The NFL will either not touch him or draft him for very low for QB or a little higher for CB or WR.
This will of course bruise Marcus's ego. He will then go to Canada to never be heard from sports-wise again !

I'm getting the impression that "thug" is the new "N" word...

I think it was Hepatitis C that a woman accused him of giving to her.

He probably wouldn't be in the NFL with Hep C. He actually gave the woman Herpes. Sickening, but not illegal and CERTAINLY no where near the level of what his brother is doing.

FWIW,

via AP:
If convicted of all three counts, Vick could be sentenced to up to three years in jail and a $7,500 fine, police spokeswoman Lt. Debbie George said in a statement.

I can't name five big name players. Its liberating.

You've never heard of Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Tom Brady, Terrell Owens, Deion Sanders, Randy Moss, Donovan McNabb or Michael Vick?

He'll be lucky if he makes it to draft day at this rate.

TEXAS has a quarterback. His name is Colt McCoy.

Vince leaving early? There is some talk down here around Atlanta that the Falcons should trade Vick and get Young because Young can both run AND pass.

That was one of the most remarkable performances I've seen by a quarterback. And my congratulations to Young and to the U of Texas.

But wait till next year.

Go Sooners!

Who hasn't thrown ONE pass in collegiate football as of this time.....not a pristine condition to defend your National Championship on.....Texas was easily the #1 team going into next year but now that's all been thrown into a giant jumble of teams.....

It just goes to show that he does not have the character to be a football hero. He is dumber than a bag of hammers and his career is going down the toilet. If I were on of his parents, I would kick his a$$.

" Vince leaving early?"

Yes, he is leaving U.T. and entering the Pro Draft. Just couldnt turn his back on approx. 45 million in endorsements that may or may not still be there next year.
