Marcus Vick was charged with driving under the influence and related traffic offenses after he fled from a bicycle officer early Friday in downtown Norfolk, police said.

Vick failed a sobriety test, Amos said, and was charged with DUI, misdemeanor eluding police, reckless driving and driving on a suspended license.

HIS HISTORY:

Vick was dismissed from the Virginia Tech football team after he stomped on a fallen opponent's leg during the Gator Bowl in front of a national television audience. Earlier that season, he made an obscene gesture toward fans at a game in West Virginia.

Off the field, he had several brushes with the law. On May 14, 2004, Vick was charged with three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The charge was the result of a party, during which Vick provided alcohol, that included three teenage girls.

The quarterback lost his driver's license in 2004 when he was cited July 3 in New Kent County with reckless driving and possession of marijuana. He pleaded no contest to the drug charge and received probation.

In March 2006, Vick pleaded guilty in Suffolk General District Court to a single count of disorderly conduct. The state agreed to drop three misdemeanor counts of brandishing a firearm, charges that had been filed against Vick in an incident Jan. 8 at a fast food restaurant near his home in north Suffolk
