After last week's incident when he stepped on another player's leg and was kicked out of Vergina Tech, Marcus Vick does more.
Anyone now think it was a mistake for Virginia Tech to get this idiot out of their program? Police in Suffolk, Virginia have charged Marcus Vick with three counts of brandishing a firearm after an incident outside a McDonald's restaurant Sunday night. (At right is Marcus Vick's first, but probably not last, mug shot.) Apparently a woman called police claiming that her 17-year-old son said that Vick had pointed a weapon at him and two others during an altercation in the fast food parking lot. After police investigated and talked to witnesses they secured three misdemeanor warrants against the younger brother of NFL star Michael Vick. Vick later turned himself into police and needs to post bond of $10,000. Brandishing a firearm is a Class 1 misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine.
