Former NFL quarterback and the younger brother of Michael Vick, Marcus Vick copped a plea deal for his arrest for fighting cops in April. He’ll still have to do a little time behind bars in the deal.
According to TMZ Sports, Marcus Vick was being arrested in Virginia on a warrant – from a previous case – when he attacked the cops who tried to take him into custody. He was charged with felony assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and obstruction of justice.
According to court records, 32-year-old Vick cut a deal with prosecutors and pled guilty to resisting arrest and in exchange the other charges were dropped.
He was sentenced to one year in jail but will only be there for another week or so. Eleven months of the sentence were suspended, and he’s getting credit for 19 days already served.
He’s already in lockup. When he gets out of jail, he’ll be on unsupervised probation for a year.
