Vick was approached by a bicycle police officer around 2 a.m. The officer noticed Vick arguing with a woman in a vehicle, according to news reports.
The officer approached the car and asked for Vick's identification and at this point Vick drove away. Another officer apprehended him several minutes afterward.

The former Tech quarterback was released on a $1,000 bond and has a court appearance scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday.

I thought DUI was mandatory jail time now......at least over night or over the weekend until your first court appearance. Anyone know what is going on here?

It is usually over night or until you sober up. It doesn't specify when he was released on the $1,000 bond so maybe it was the following morning. Wonder who posted the bond b/c it certainly wasn't Michael this time. HAHA, losers.

Such a thug. So glad he doesn't represent VT anymore. I heard he was out so late because he was at his uncle's house betting on dog fights.
