New troubles for Vick

Federal prosecutors in Richmond, Virginia, today asked a judge to order Michael Vick to set aside nearly a million dollars for the care of pit bulls seized from his dog fighting operation. Vick faces a prison term of up to five years when he is sentenced December 10th on a federal dog fighting conspiracy conviction. He voluntarily began serving his prison term early yesterday. As part of his plea deal with federal prosecutors, Vick agreed to pay for the care and placement of 54 pit bulls confiscated from his "Bad Newz Kennels" property in Surry County, Virginia. Prosecutors want Vicks assets frozen now. They fear a rash of claims by creditors and the Atlanta Falcons could threaten the former quarterback’s ability to honor the restitution agreement.
