What is with Michael Vick? First he’s charged with promoting dogfighting and torturing and killing dogs. And today we find out that he tested positive for marijuana use. He just digs himself deeper and deeper into a hole.
SUSSEX, Virginia (CNN) — Suspended NFL quarterback Michael Vick must adhere to tightened restrictions after he tested positive for marijuana use, a federal judge said Wednesday.
Vick tested positive for the drug on September 13, a court document from the Eastern District of Virginia shows.
As a result, U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson ordered Vick to “submit to any method of testing required by the pretrial services officer or the supervising officer for determining whether the defendant is using a prohibited substance.”
Those methods could include random drug testing, a remote alcohol testing system “and/or any form of prohibited substance screening or testing,” the order said.
Vick, 27, must participate in substance abuse therapy and mental health counseling “if deemed advisable by the pretrial services officer or supervising officer” at his own expense, the order said.
Vick was also ordered to stay home between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., “or as directed by the pretrial services officer or supervising officer,” the order said. He is to be electronically monitored during that time.
The conditions are to apply until Vick’s sentencing, which is set for December 10.
