 Mike Vick's Water Bottle Seized, Contains MJ Residue

Remember kids, Marijuana makes you slow. You'll never be a top-tier athlete if you smoke marijuana...
Quote:
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was reluctant to throw away his water bottle at a Miami International Airport security checkpoint Wednesday morning.
The reason, police say: The 20-ounce plastic bottle had a secret compartment that had a dark residue and a pungent odor of marijuana. Vick boarded his 8:20 a.m. AirTran flight to Atlanta before screeners called police. Now, Miami-Dade police are examining the bottle and could charge him if it tests positive for drugs.
Police notified the National Football League about the investigation, Miami Herald news partner WFOR-CBS4 reported. Joel Segal, Vick's agent, declined to comment late Wednesday.
According to a Miami-Dade police report, here's what happened:
Vick, 26, balked when security at the Concourse G checkpoint asked him to surrender his water bottle, which had an Aquafina label. Security regulations prohibit travelers from carrying bottles with more than 3 ounces of liquid through checkpoints.
Eventually, Vick left the bottle behind and went to his gate. But his initial reluctance aroused the suspicion of Transportation Security Administration screener Gertrude Joseph. She pulled the bottle out of a recycle bin and notified her supervisor when she discovered its hidden compartment.
Screeners told police they recognized Vick as the pro football player, and they were certain it was his water bottle because they saw him throw it away and it was the only water bottle in the recycle bin.
Miami-Dade police reviewed surveillance video from the checkpoint and said it corroborated the screeners' version of events. They also confirmed Vick was a passenger on AirTran Flight 338 from Miami to Atlanta.
The bottle had a clear partition in the middle, separating the bottle into two compartments. An online spy-equipment retailer lists an Aquafina Water Bottle Diversion Safe for $15. ''It has room for more than just water,'' according to metrospysupply.com. ``Twist and pull the bottle in half to reveal a hidden compartment.''
In his report, Miami-Dade Det. Kevin Kozak wrote: ``The concealed compartment contained a small amount of dark particulate and a pungent aroma closely associated with marijuana. The top half contained a small amount of clear liquid. When held upright the bottle appeared to be half full of water.''
Vick, the top NFL draft pick in 2001, is the older brother of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Marcus Vick and second cousin of Oakland Raiders quarterback Aaron Brooks.
Vick is known for his ability to elude defenders and make dazzling runs. He is third on the NFL's all-time rushing list for quarterbacks, running for more than 1,000 yards this past season.
Vick is two years into a 10-year, $130 million contract with the Falcons.
Vick made headlines when he flipped his middle finger to booing fans after a Nov. 26 home loss to the New Orleans Saints. The league fined him $10,000, and he agreed to give another $10,000 to charity.
Miami Herald staff writers Armando Salguero and Gladys Amador, and Brian Andrews, a reporter with Miami Herald news partner WFOR-CBS4, contributed to this report.

Maybe he can give his endorsement and market those bottles.
But seriously, how dumb can you be? Everyone knows about liquids being a no-no on flights these days.

And if the people ask you to chuck your fake drug container, just chuck it without blinking. Rule #1 when carrying illegal shit... ALWAYS be prepared to let it go without hesitation.
Gee, I wonder why a MULTIMILLIONAIRE would complain about having to throw away a $1 bottle of water before boarding a (most likely) first class flight... how could that possibly raise eyebrows of people trained to spot that kind of behavior.
Stupid asshole.

As dumb as that may have been, there wasn't even any pot in the damn bottle, and this whole thing will be blown completely out of proportion for weeks.

He is Stupid, a quarterback in the NFL should not be involved with drugs. The commish will come down hard on him. I am sure if he has some endorsment deals they are finished with him for 3-4 months. Ha ha.

Honestly doesn't make sense though. Why would he care so much about a cheap little fake bottle like that... that was EMPTY. My guess was there was something in there, but that he managed to get it out before he threw the bottle away 
Either way he surely is an idiot. If I made money like that I wouldn't be doing ANYTHING that could jepordize it.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

I don't see Vick coming back next season after this year. Hot start then fades..fails to make playoffs..the "coach killer" comments by Jim Mora Sr. followed by Mora Jr. being fired. Then the middle finger to the fans. Now this. From what I hear the new coach will have discretion on whether he stays or goes. My bet is he goes.
