Michael Vick’s father has been arrested by federal authorities in Newport News, Va., and charged with being part of a drug ring, the Virginian-Pilot reports.
Michael Dwayne Boddie, 55, is charged with conspiring to sell heroin with 11 others and money laundering.
Boddie is being held without bond until a Monday detention hearing. He was assigned a court-appointed attorney.
In 2007, Vick was indicted in his hometown on federal charges of running a dog-fighting ring. The Atlanta Falcons’ star quarterback served 21 months in prison in the prime of his NFL career before returning to play seven more seasons with three other teams.
