    Vick caught with drugs?

    This guy is too much trouble!

    MIAMI -- Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick reluctantly surrendered a water bottle to security at Miami International Airport that smelled like marijuana and contained a substance in a hidden compartment.


    Vick
    Police said Thursday it could be weeks before a decision is made on whether to file charges.

    "We'll do an analysis and see what it is. There's no sense of urgency to it," Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said Thursday.

    The bottle was found to have a compartment that contained "a small amount of dark particulate and a pungent aroma closely associated with marijuana," the police report said. The compartment was hidden by the bottle's label so that it appeared to be a full bottle of water when held upright, police said.

    Vick entered an airport concourse Wednesday morning with the 20-ounce bottle. His initial reluctance to turn over the bottle aroused suspicion among airport security screeners, a police report said. He eventually handed it over and boarded his flight to Atlanta.

    Police said the bottle was sent to the Miami-Dade County crime lab.

    Vick did not immediately return a phone call early Thursday.

    "We plan to look into the matter and discuss it with Michael Vick before having any further comment," Falcons spokesman Reggie Roberts said.

    Under Florida law, possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison and a $1,000 fine. First offenders rarely do any jail time.

    Two Transportation Security Administration screeners recognized the 6-foot, 215-pound Vick.

    Vick, 26, just finished the second year of a 10-year, $137 million contract he signed in January 2005. While he remains one of the NFL's most potent scoring threats and athletic performers, he has also been questioned for his consistency, particularly as a passer. However, new Falcons coach Bobby Petrino said earlier this month that he intends to design the team's offense around Vick.

    In 74 career NFL games, Vick has completed 930 of 1,730 passes for 11,505 yards and 71 touchdowns with 52 interceptions. He had career bests of 20 touchdown passes and 1,039 yards rushing in 2006.

    Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

    perhaps ATA has been lax in the past as far as searching...maybe southwest is a bit more thurough on searching for stuff...

    Probably the best thing that could have happened to him. He has a great excuse to get rid of the coach-killer.

    Yeah, which explains how a 9 year old (who earlier in the week stole a car and lead police on a car chase, I kid you not) managed to sneak past security in Seattle and even change planes to end up in Dallas while trying to get to his granddad in San Antonio (personally, I understand, I would rather be in San An that Seattle too!).

    this is NOT a big deal, just a little weed... I know I'm not a high profile athlete but I never travel through an airport without marijuana...

    oh and my friend had one of these water bottles... it isn't like the link above but similar... the water bottle itself is actually a bong, I'm assuming since they said black substance that he had the bong version of the bottle, and it was likely empty with black resin in it, or he had hash in it...

    TSA does the searching, not the airlines.
