skull1669 Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 if he keeps this mess up!!! Tech's Vick faces drug, driving charges BY DAVE JOHNSON Daily Press July 6, 2004, 11:49 AM EDT Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick was charged Saturday morning with reckless driving and possession of marijuana. Vick, who along with two teammates was convicted in May of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, was stopped by state police for going 86 miles an hour on Interstate 64 near New Kent. Police found two bags containing marijuana on him. Vick, from Warwick High in Newport News, was released on a summons. Vick was sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $2,250 for his May conviction. His lawyer has appealed and a court date has not been set. Tech athletic director Jim Weaver has said the three players will be disciplined for the earlier conviction. Vick was suspended for a game during the 2003 season for an unspecified violation of team policy. Vick is expected to compete with Bryan Randall for the starting job this season.

Youve got to set an example for these athletes. Never happened because they are living off the Vick legacy, now the way he is going that could change. Just don't see Beamer start to go by rules all of a sudden though. Now that they are in the ACC should get interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sir Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 The pride of Warwick High School, hahaha. Who cares about VT, we all know Georgia Tech is the best Tech school in the ACC. PJ Daniels, Eric Henderson, James Butler, etc. You won't see them in the news for drug possession, you may see them on Deans' list though. The best student-athletes in the ACC are at GAtech. So is the best safety and defensive end. And the best defensive coordinator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A31453-2004Jul6.html Associated Press Tuesday, July 6, 2004; 6:12 PM RICHMOND, Va. -- Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick was suspended indefinitely from the team Tuesday, the same day it was revealed he was charged with reckless driving and possession of marijuana. The younger brother of Atlanta Falcons quarterback and former Hokies star Michael Vick was charged after an early morning traffic stop on Saturday, state police said. He was convicted in May of three misdemeanors stemming from a drinking party with three underage girls. The school said the latest charge prompted the indefinite suspension. Officials revealed Tuesday that Vick and two others convicted in May had been suspended for the first three games of the season. Vick, a redshirt sophomore, was expected to challenge senior Bryan Randall for the starting job this season after the two essentially shared it last season. Vick was clocked on radar at 86 mph, 21 mph above the speed limit, state police spokesman Gary B. Payne said. "As a result of the traffic stop, he also was charged with possession of marijuana," Payne said. Both charges are misdemeanors, he said. In May, the 20-year-old Vick was sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $2,250 on three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor after he and two teammates gave alcohol to 14- and 15-year-old girls at the players' apartment. Tailback Mike Imoh, 19, was sentenced to 10 days in jail and fined $750. Wide receiver Brenden Hill, 19, was sentenced to 20 days in jail and fined $1,500. After the trial, Virginia Tech athletic director Jim Weaver promised to punish the players, but refused to disclose what kind of disciplinary action he would take, citing the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. On Tuesday, Weaver revealed that all three players had been suspended for the first three games of this season. School spokesman Larry Hincker said all three players had signed a waiver that allowed the school to detail the penalties. "I believe that the actions this past winter of Mike Imoh, Brenden Hill, and Marcus Vick were inappropriate and contrary to the values of our university and sports communities, and should warrant sanction," Weaver said in a statement. "Although these matters are on appeal in the criminal courts, I am moving forward in the best interests of all concerned with disciplinary action." Coach Frank Beamer has declined to discuss the convictions, saying he wanted to wait until the appeals process has run its course. The university said in the release that Weaver would have nothing further to say and that he spoke for the university. Vick has appealed his conviction and sentence to Montgomery County Circuit Court. Vick was suspended for one game last season for a violation of team policy. Virginia Tech does not automatically suspend students charged with a misdemeanor. Hincker said any student convicted of a misdemeanor is subject to disciplinary action levied by the university office of judicial affairs. Penalties range from a simple warning to dismissal from school. © 2004 The Associated Press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montilar Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 They need to wash their hands of him. I don't care if it is a Vick. Unfortunately the money will make them give in. They will wait until the hoopla dies down and quietly reinstate him. maye even "redshirt" him for the year.... An example needs to be made. He essentually got off of the statutory rape, and he was in trouble BEFORE that with a run-in with the law ( I think over drugs.) . Three strikes and you're out needs to come into play. And I'm a Hokie. He isn't as far as I'm concerned. He's just a dumb@ss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SkinsHokie Fan Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 :doh: A funny story about him was he stole a parking spot from a friend of mine. And if anyone knows anything about the B-lot at Tech it is hell to park for class there. Her response after this happened?
