Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was reluctant to throw away his 20-ounce water bottle at a Miami International Airport security checkpoint Wednesday morning.

The reason, police say: The plastic bottle had a secret compartment that, when opened, had a dark residue and a pungent odor of marijuana.

Vick boarded his 8:20 a.m. AirTran flight to Atlanta before screeners called police. Now Miami-Dade police are examining the bottle and could charge him if it tests positive for drugs.

Police notified the National Football League about the investigation, Miami Herald news partner WFOR-CBS4 reported. Joel Segal, Vick's agent, declined to comment late Wednesday.

According to a Miami-Dade police report, here's what happened:

Vick, 26, balked when security at the Concourse G checkpoint asked him to surrender his water bottle, which had an Aquafina label. Security regulations prohibit travelers from carrying bottles with more than 3 ounces of liquid through checkpoints.

Eventually, Vick left the bottle behind and went to his gate. But his initial reluctance to do so aroused the suspicion of Transportation Security Administration screener Gertrude Joseph. She pulled the bottle out of a recycle bin and notified her supervisor when she discovered its hidden compartment.

Screeners told police they recognized Vick as the pro football player, and they were certain it was his water bottle because they saw him throw it away and it was the only water bottle in the recycle bin.

Miami-Dade police reviewed surveillance video from the checkpoint and said it corroborated the screeners' version of events. They also confirmed Vick was a passenger on AirTran Flight 338 from Miami to Atlanta.

The bottle had a clear partition in the middle, separating the bottle into two compartments.

''The concealed compartment contained a small amount of dark particulate and a pungent aroma closely associated with marijuana,'' Miami-Dade Detective Kevin Kozak wrote in his report. ``The top half contained a small amount of clear liquid. When held upright the bottle appeared to be half full of water.''

Vick, the top NFL draft pick in 2001, is the older brother of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Marcus Vick and second cousin of Oakland Raiders quarterback Aaron Brooks. Vick is known around the NFL for his ability to scramble away from defenders and make dazzling running plays. He is third on the NFL's all-time rushing list for quarterbacks, running for more than 1,000 yards this past season.

Vick is two years into a 10-year, $130 million contract with the Falcons.

What an idiot!! In this era when shampoo, and razors are not pemitted and you have to get go in stocking feet and have your shoes examined; he is taking marijuana. Marijuana that can get him a 4 game suspension costing him over 3 million dollars.

A little bit of marijuana that can cost him so much being transported through the airport with a high risk of being caught and arrested is a sign of chemical dependency. Drugs are more important to him than his freedom, his employment, his reputation and anything else.

This guy needs an intervention.

Great news for the Falcons, maybe if they are lucky Vick won't be able to play this next season.

Matt Schaub here we come!!

Vick is a turd...always has been...always willing to throw teammates and coaches under the bus to cover his own shortcomings.

Between him and Marcus...well, that is a gene pool that is better left dry!

Geez.......like he couldn't afford to buy his drugs when he got to his destination!!!

Micheal Micheal Michael not very bright ????????

His FULL name is "Ron (i buy my pot straight from) Mexico!"

Ron "Reefer" Mexico

Ron "flip off fans" Mexico

Ron "last in passing" Mexico

Ron "2nd lowest Wonderlic Score" Mexico

Ron "big contract" Mexico


Pull up a chair and wait. The trainwreck is going to happen.

must've been hash oil, that stuff is fantastic...i've heard.

I prefer corn beef and hash oil........... :thumbsup:

lol..is there any other way to serve corned beef?

Bet Jim Mora is glad he won't be there next season...

You've been hangin with Cheesey too much LT ! :razz:

Maybe it was a bottle of completions....

You know.......the reason the guards were able to find the bottle Vick had so easily was...........he went to throw it in the garbage can, and MISSED!!!

This guy is beyond stupid! He can't do without his stimulation during a three hour or less flight? I forget what his wonderlic score was but it could have been a MINUS (-). If it wasn't, he got help. Guys like this never change because they don't understand or have common sense. I hope he gets cut...I wouldn't have him on any team I owned. Addition by sutraction.

Turns out there wasn't anything in his bottle but water...

Conspiracy theorists, look here

If it was for jewelry(it wasn't) then it can only be to avoid payment of customs fees when returning to the U.S. with jewelry purchased outside the country. Not particularly safe when traveling as a water bottle would readily be disposed by anyone cleaning.

Why did stupid Vick say anything like that on the day Schaub is traded?

Does anyone think Vick will finish his contract?
