No Drugs In Vick's Bottle

JANUARY 22--NFL star Michael Vick will not face criminal charges in connection with last week's seizure of a customized water bottle after police lab tests turned up negative for the presence of drugs in the container. After the Aquafina water bottle was surrendered by the Atlanta Falcons quarterback to screeners at Miami International Airport, a secret compartment was discovered in the 20-ounce bottle, according to a Miami-Dade Police Department report. The concealed portion of the container, investigators noted last Wednesday, contained 'a small amount of dark particulate and a pungent aroma closely associated with Marijuana.' However, upon further laboratory review, no evidence of drugs was detected in Vick's suspicious water bottle, according to a memo from prosecutor Deisy Rodriguez (a copy of which you'll find below). As a result of the lab results, the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office declined to file charges against the 26-year-old athlete, who can now presumably retrieve his drug-free Aquafina bottle from police.
