MIAMI -- Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick reluctantly surrendered a water bottle to security at Miami International Airport that smelled like marijuana and contained a substance in a hidden compartment.

``We'll do an analysis and see what it is. There's no sense of urgency to it,'' Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said Thursday.

The bottle was found to have a compartment that contained ``a small amount of dark particulate and a pungent aroma closely associated with marijuana,'' the police report said. The compartment was hidden by the bottle's label so that it appeared to be a full bottle of water when held upright, police said.

Vick entered an airport concourse Wednesday morning with the 20-ounce bottle. His initial reluctance to turn over the bottle aroused suspicion among airport security screeners, a police report said. He eventually handed it over and boarded his flight to Atlanta.

Under Florida law, possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison and a $1,000 fine. First offenders rarely do any jail time.

what a moron Vick is

Wow... so maybe now we know why he couldn't learn Mora's offense. Maybe he was hopped up on weed. Looks like Jim Mora the elder was right about this guy. We already knew he was a lousy QB who's only saving grace is that he can run, and that he'd embarrassed himself to no end by giving the hometown fans the single-finger salute. So know maybe he's a pothead too. Nice.

This has got to be one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. Who did he think he was James Bond??

Ugh, and he's suppose to be the face of the franchise and all that jazz. Stupid actions on his part.

I suspect a cover up by many so as not to diminish his public profile and mass market appeal in other words keep his trade value as high as possible Arthur Blank is not stupid.

Well, considering the police have said it wasn't pot and that there wouldn't be any charges, I don't think it can be a cover up. I've heard people speculate that it was supposed to be pot and Vick wound up buying a fake bag, which in some ways would be damn funny.
