Vick Agrees To Reimburse Government For Dog Care

Posted: 4:52 pm EST November 27, 2007Updated: 4:54 pm EST November 27, 2007

Court documents submitted today by federal prosecutors in the Michael Vick case say Vick has agreed to set aside about $928,000 to reimburse the U.S. government for the cost of caring for his dogs. Late last week, the government asked the court to issue a restraining order to prohibit Vick from spending that money and ensure the government is repaid for its animal care expenses.

According to the prosecutors’ court filings, the money was transferred from Vick into an escrow account of a Washington, D.C. firm named Sutherland, Asbill, and Brennan.

Prosecutors expressed concern last week that Vick might not otherwise be able to pay the animal care bill. They cited new financial disputes between Vick and the Atlanta Falcons, as well as disputes between Vick and several banks.
