Then at home Michael was found 30 dogs. Initially, the athlete said that he was not guilty. However, later he agreed with the charges, admitting to the court his guilt.

In December 2007, Vic was sentenced to 23 months in prison for funding dog fights, as well as for helping to kill those pitbulls that lost fights. After Michael pleaded guilty, the NFL suspended his payment indefinitely.
