Vick's Truck in Trouble; But Vick isn't
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -- Two men are facing drug felony charges after they were stopped by police while driving a pick-up truck co-registered to Michael Vick.
A patrol officer stopped the white truck on the evening of Feb. 3 because the license plate looked as if it had been tinkered with, a police spokeswoman told the Newport News Daily Press. She said the registration on the 1997 Ford F-150 expired in June 2003, but the plate had a 2004 decal.
The driver, Harry Leon Snead, Jr., was carrying $1,420 in cash. The passenger, Jerry Lee Garner, 23, had about 1½ ounces of marijuana with a street value of $400 to $500 hidden in his pants, police told the newspaper.
Snead and Garner were jailed on various charges including possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and conspiracy to commit a felony.
There is no evidence to connect the Falcons quarterback with the arrests, police told the newspaper. The truck is registered to Vick and Charles W. Reamon, Jr., a nephew of Vick's former Warwick High coach, Tommy Reamon.
