RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback
Michael Vick is now in the custody of U.S. Marshals.
He surrendered today in Virginia, three weeks before he's
scheduled to be sentenced on a federal dogfighting conspiracy
charge.
According to a court document, Vick turned himself in because he
is anticipating a prison term. A marshal says he's being held at a
jail in Warsaw, Virginia.
According to an order filed in federal court today, Vick was
taken into custody because he wanted to go ahead and start his
prison term.
Vick faces up to five years in prison. He and three
co-defendants entered guilty pleas to federal dogfighting charges.
He's also been charged with two state felony counts.
Vick has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL without pay.
