Quarterback Vick arrested on firearms charges By KRISTEN GELINEAU, Associated Press Writer
January 9, 2006
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Former Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick, booted from the team last week for his behavior on and off the field, was charged Monday with pulling a gun on three teenagers during an altercation in a restaurant parking lot.
Vick surrendered at the Suffolk magistrate's office after three warrants were issued for his arrest Sunday, Magistrate Lisa Noel said.
The 21-year-old Vick was charged with three misdemeanor counts of brandishing a firearm, and was released on $10,000 bond.
Police said the parents of a 17-year-old boy reported that Vick pointed a weapon at their son and two others during an altercation at a McDonald's in Suffolk, a southeastern Virginia city where Vick's mother lives, Sunday night.
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.
On Friday, Virginia Tech kicked Vick off the team, citing the cumulative effects of numerous legal problems and his unsportsmanlike conduct in the Gator Bowl, where he was caught on tape stomping on the left calf of Louisville All-American Elvis Dumervil.
He also received a speeding ticket and a ticket for driving on a suspended license in Hampton on Dec. 17 while under a "zero tolerance" policy from Virginia Tech.
The policy was implemented when Vick was suspended in 2004 because of several legal problems. He later came under further scrutiny because of replays of his actions against Dumervil.
Vick claimed it was accidental, but hurt his cause by claiming to have apologized to Dumervil, the NCAA sacks leader. Dumervil said he received no such apology.
Saturday, Vick announced he had decided to turn pro.
A Virginia Tech spokesman said university officials would have no comment on Vick's arrest.
"At this point, I think the actions speak for themselves," the spokesman, Larry Hincker, said.
Vick is the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick. He was the runner-up to Wake Forest's Chris Barclay, by one vote, as the Atlantic Coast Conference's offensive player of the year, and was the league's first-team quarterback.
In 24 career games, the 6-foot, 212-pound Vick threw for 2,868 yards, 19 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He also ran 184 times for 492 yards and six TDs.

Hey Marcus, meet Lawrence Phillips..former Nebraska Cornhusker star, but you can just call him Inmate #1369861....he was an iffy draft choice for the Rams several years ago; he's a domestic violence criminal and never faced the music...just last month, LAPD went into pursuit and it was Lawrence Phillips at the wheel..during his escape, he drove a vehicle through a park and ran over two kids trying to get away, which he did since the police abandoned the chase...he turned himself in a week later...but nonetheless, here's another perfect example of what went wrong....
A couple years ago, a book called Pro's and Con's was hot..it covered all of the Convicts that are currently involved with professional football..the author needs Pro's and Con's part II

Newport News is bad news
I used to live near where that McDonald's is, Michael Vick bought their mom a house in a snooty neighborhood near there. While her neighborhood is snooty, most of the rest of the area is the HOOD. I bet my niece knows the guy who got the gun pulled on him. This is wild.
I really don't think what he did was worth kicking him off the team, but I'm weird
and I like TO too. I wonder how he will pan out in the NFL.

I have serious doubts about him being drafted. (he'd be hard to draft if he's in jail. 
) Invited to camp maybe.
I believe the university/AD was justified in dumping him from the team.

The cowboys have had their share of run-ins with the law too.
I'd say Vick now lives with his mother in HarbourView, in Suffolk, that rich neighborhood where Michael bought her a house. It's across from the huge Harbour View Cinema. The back road from there leads right past the back entrance to my old WalMart, and then directly to the McDonald's where the incident occured. It's all my old neighborhood, this is very freaky to see it on the news.

Given the way guys like Lawrence Phillips and Maurice Clarett have worked out, I don't see many teams looking to take on a super troubled guy like Marcus.
