Marcus Vick Arrested for DUI

Marcus Vick, the former Virginia Tech quarterback and brother of former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, was arrested Friday and charged with driving under the influence and eluding the police, AP reports.

Vick signed with the Miami Dolphins as a free agent after a troubled career at Virginia Tech. The Dolphins released Vick in 2007.

According to police, a uniformed bicycle patrol officer observed Vick and a female involved in an altercation in a car around 2 a.m.

The officer asked if his assistance was needed and then asked Vick for his driver's license. Police claim that Vick then sped away. He was stopped minutes later.

Vick failed a field sobriety test and was charged with DUI, reckless driving, driving on the wrong side of the road, misdemeanor eluding police, and driving on a suspended license. The passenger, Delicia Cordon of Miami, Fla., was charged with being drunk in public.

Vick was released from jail on a $1,000 bond at 6 a.m. Friday. He is scheduled to appear in court Monday, said Maj. Mike O'Toole of the Norfolk Sheriff's Office.
