Marcus Vick hasn’t been in the public eye for some time. After an up-and-down senior season at Virginia Tech in 2005, Michael Vick’s younger brother went to the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent for the 2006 season before his contract ended at the end of the year. He’s been out of the NFL ever since.
Vick’s run into plenty of legal issues over the years, and earlier this month, he pleaded guilty to a resisting arrest charge for which he will spend a month in jail. The news kind of flew under the radar, but today, TMZ released video of the incident that led to Vick’s arrest.
According to TMZ, Vick was being questioned by police officers because there was a warrant out for his arrest stemming from a civil case. After several minutes of questioning in which the police surrounded Vick due to their fear that he’d run and they wouldn’t be able to catch him, he took off, evaded the officers, and tried to get away. The footrace between Vick and the police was captured on one of the officer’s body camera.
While Vick got plenty of separation between himself and the cops on foot, he appears to have decided to end the chase by sitting down on a sidewalk. The police officer wearing a body camera approached him with his weapon drawn, and after several police cars showed up, Vick was apprehended by the authorities.
