Michael Vick's Dad Arrested on Federal Drug, Money Laundering Charges

The father of former NFL quarterback Michael Vick, Michael Boddie, was arrested Thursday on heroin distribution and money laundering charges.

According to Scott Daugherty of the Virginian-Pilot, the 55-year-old Boddie was one of 12 people named in a federal indictment, and he is being held without bond until a detention hearing Monday.

Vick retired in February after a 13-year NFL career that was interrupted for two years when he served prison time for his involvement in a dog-fighting ring in 2007 and 2008.

The former No. 1 overall draft pick by the Atlanta Falcons out of Virginia Tech retired as the NFL's all-time leader in rushing yardage among quarterbacks.

Per Daugherty, it is unclear what type of relationship Vick currently has with his father, but it was reported in 2007 by the Washington Post that they were estranged.
