This water’s giving me the munchies
On Wednesday morning, Mick Vick (the Atlanta Falcons quaterback) was at the Miami International Airport trying to catch a flight back to Atlanta. Before we get to the meat of this story a quick aside - he was taking an AirTran flight. AirTran? Does he not make enough money to fly a real airline that doesn’t have airplanes with a reasonable chance of bolts falling off mid-flight? What the hell?
Anyway, he had a 20 ounce Aquafina water bottle and the security checkpoint folks wouldn’t let him take it through since, as everyone knows, no more than 3 ounces is allowed these days. He was hesitant to leave it, but eventually did so. This hesitancy peeked the screener’s suspicion, however, so she took the bottle from the recycle bin and told her supervisor. The supervisor gave the bottle a look-over and found that it had a secret compartment and in that secret compartment was a dark residue which smelled like pot. So the cops were called in and they’ve now taken the bottle for drug testing. If it comes back positive, Vick could find himself facing some charges. As always, The Smoking Gun hooks us up with the official police report.
So turns out Vick isn’t just a less-than-competent quarterback, he’s also a less-than-competent drug-runner. Next time, Mr. Mexico, remember to swallow it or stash it up your ass.
(As you may recall, “Ron Mexico” is the fabulous alias Vick used to use, as we learned about from the 2005 STD lawsuit filed against him.)
