Sports: Marcus Vick, Brother of Michael Vick Arrested For Driving While High!
This news is just breaking. Obviously driving while high is not a technical term for an arrest, but its a fact. Vick was pulled over in Georgia overnight.

If you ask Vick himself, he thinks Jail might actually be the reason for all of that. Hit the jump.
