NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick, the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael, was arrested on Monday and charged with three counts of brandishing a firearm.
According to a report in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, a warrant for Vick's arrest was issued after the parent of a 17-year-old male said the quarterback pointed a weapon at her son and two others after an altercation in a restaurant parking lot.
Brandishing a firearm is punishable by up to 12 months in jail and a fine of $2,500.
Vick's latest problems come just three days after he was dismissed from the Hokies football team for unsportsmanlike conduct at the Gator Bowl.
Vick was seen stomping on the leg of defensive lineman Elvis Dumervil while he was on the ground during Virginia's 35-24 win over Louisville on Monday.
Whether or not he goes to jail I think he is screwed. He is too much of a headcase to take a chance on him in the league. Really too bad, I thought he was a good athelete.
