rajncajn Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 http://www.nbc6.net/news/10778218/detail.html SA: Michael Vick Had Water Bottle With Secret Compartment At MIA POSTED: 10:01 pm EST January 17, 2007 UPDATED: 10:11 pm EST January 17, 2007 Email This Story | Print This Story Sign Up for Breaking News Alerts MIAMI -- Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was found Wednesday at Miami International Airport allegedly carrying a water bottle with a hidden compartment, TSA Operations Center Officials said. Vick was going through the Concourse G screening point to board an AirTran flight when officials said he was reluctant to give up his bottle of water. Airport officials said that it was a 20 oz. Aquafina bottle and the bottle's label concealed a seam, which separated the top and the bottom of the bottle. Both ends were sealed by clear partitions and what appeared to be a silicone sealant, TSA supervisors said. The concealed compartment contained a small amount of a dark particulate and officials describe a pungent aroma closely associated with Josh Gordon. Officials said that the lower half of the bottle was almost completely full of a clear liquid and the top half contained a small amount of that same clear liquid. TSA officials said that when the bottle was held upright, it appeared to be half full of water. A TSA screener identified the man who was reluctant to give up the bottle as Vick. Miami-Dade police have received flight reservation confirmation that Vick was on an AirTran flight No. 338 Wednesday to Atlanta. Vick has not been arrested and the substance found inside the bottle is being analyzed at a Miami-Dade Police Department lab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 They tell you not to leave your water bottles out of your sight at the airport but I always thought they were just being excessively protective. That Al Queda would use Michael Vick just shows how none of us are safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwacked Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Awesome! I mean, how dumb can you really be in this day and age to try something like that? If he really tried to sneak the Josh Gordon..... . Can't these guys wait to smoke Josh Gordon when they retire in 10 years. I'll manage to wait somehow someway.......for tens of millions less and 30+ more years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thews40 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I wonder how much this will cost him in lot sponsorship? Sad really, as Vick seemed to be a good role model for kids (for a pro athlete anyway). Stupid actually, because if it were in his luggage he could have plead ignorance. He’ll plead ignorance to spin it, but it’s gonna be a hard sell if he was reluctant to give up the bottle. Anyone know what the penalty for this is if he’s convicted?

Avernus Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 shouldn't Vick know that if you can't get a prosthetic penis through the airport....you definately can't sneak small quantities of pot through your water bottle..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Waffle Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) Just read this over at Roto, and when a ship really starts to sink there is nothing that can be done. Take his precedence over running than passng, still getting his chops busted over the whole Ron Mexico debacle(AND RIGHTFULLY SO), the flipping off of the crowd, the coach under bus debate...and now Josh Gordon ala Josh Gordon smoker and blatent obvious attempt to decieve said Josh Gordon while traveling the airways. It's still awhile before training camp and such, could we be seeing the beginning and rise of the Matt ScHaub era and the decline and fall of Mike Vick I could see Vick as a Raider-then again that may be a conditioned rsponse now for the team for the bad boy's.

Big Score 1 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Jeez what an idiot. The concealed compartment contained a small amount of a dark particulate and officials describe a pungent aroma closely associated with Josh Gordon. Sounds like this is hash or hash oil. I guess if he just has to have some, at least he's doing the best there is. But jeez what an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 This is clearly the fault of Jim Mora Jr. & the ATL D. If Mora, Jr were a better coach he would have taught Vick that transporting dope was naughty. If the ATL D had played better this season, Vick would be in the process of leading the Falcons to a Super Bowl title and wouldn't have been getting on that plane. In any case, this is obviously not Vick's fault. In fact, he may have heroically taken the psuedo-water bottle from one of his team mates to prevent the team mate from flunking a drug test and was merely taking the dope on the plane to dispose of the drugs as the plane passed over a body of water.

Ray Lewis - Eyewitness to a murder, refused to tetify as to who the murderers were ~ convicted for obstruction of justice. Leonard Little - DUI ~ vehicular homicide. Rae Carruth - Murder. Bong Morris - Possesion with intent to distribute. Need me to go on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, we won't mention that if Vick tried to throw the bottle into the Atlantic Ocean as the plane was passing over it, he would haved missed the ocean by about 500 miles....

Grits and Shins Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I heard he was trying to pass the bottle off but was confused by the defensive alignment at the airport, missed his check downs and decided to keep the bottle and try for the open lane.

Cunning Runt Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 He shoulda taken the tobacco out of some cigars or cigarettes and filled 'em up with the wacky tobaccy instead and just threw them on the xray machine like I do - worked when I went to Vegas a couple years back. Did I just say that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
