Mike Vick Is Out Of Jail (Temporarily)

Falcons quarterback Mike Vick has been released from prison.

According to WSB-TV, Vick currently is making the trip to Virginia, where he’ll serve the rest of his prison term on home confinement.

Vick was supposed to finish his time in federal custody in a halfway house, but due to space limitations he’ll get to stay in his home.

Vick is due to be released from federal custody on July 20. At that point, he’ll presumably apply for reinstatement to the NFL.

He was sentenced to 23 months after pleading guilty in 2007 to federal conspiracy charges relating to gambling and dogfighting. He also pleaded guilty last year to dogfighting charges under Virginia law, which entailed no additional jail time and which paved the way for his release from prison.

Under federal law, a player can’t serve the balance of a prison term outside of prison if there are pending criminal charges against him.

[Editor’s note: Read the second update at the bottom of the entry. The WSB-TV report is wr-wr-wr-technically correct but as a practical matter erroneous.]

UPDATE: Taco Bill tells us that Vick’s home confinement already has landed for him a new marketing deal.

SECOND UPDATE: WSB-TV’s report apparently is erroneous. Other reports suggest that Vick is heading to Virginia only to attend a bankruptcy hearing, and that his home confinement won’t commence until May 21.

Vick Won’t Be On Home Confinement Until May

The Wednesday morning report from WSB-TV, which blared the headline that Mike Vick is out of jail, technically was accurate.

Falcons quarterback Mike Vick is out of jail. But he’s going back.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Vick is heading to Virginia for a hearing in his bankruptcy case. He’ll be held there in a regional jail.

Per the AJC, Vick is expected to return to Leavenworth, Kansas, and to be released to home confinement on May 20.

Vick has been required by the bankrupty court to appear at next week’s hearing in person, so that the judge can assess Vick’s credibility. (We hope the judge has a polygraph machine handy.) The judge also has required Vick to pay the costs of his trip from Kansas to Virginia.

Where is Jerry's jet ?

Jerry's jet? Heck, he's probably already been there and stocked Vick's fridge with food, with a cutsie lil stickie note on the door for him when he gets home.

Wait, this is Jerry Jones.. There is probably a McDonalds in Vicks living room. Just stocking the fridge is too subtle.

Lol.
