Michael Vick- APRIL 5, 2005--Claiming that Michael Vick gave her herpes, a Georgia woman is suing the star NFL quarterback for negligence and battery. According to the below lawsuit, Sonya Elliot, a 26-year-old health care worker, was infected with the sexually transmitted disease in April 2003 after an unprotected encounter with Vick at the athlete's Duluth, Georgia home. Elliott alleges that after testing positive for Herpes Simplex 2, she confronted the Atlanta Falcons star, 24, about her condition. "I've got something to tell you. I've got it," Vick admitted to her, according to Elliott's State Court complaint, which alleges that Vick then told her that "he had not known how to tell her about his condition, and that it was not something that he liked to talk about." Elliott's complaint also contends that Vick "apologized profusely" for not telling her he was infected with the STD. Elliot's lawsuit alleges that Vick has used the name "Ron Mexico" and, in a related court filing, her lawyers are seeking Vick's admission that he used the "Mexico" alias--and perhaps other fake names--"for the purpose of herpes testing and/or treatment." In her lawsuit, which does not specify monetary damages, Elliott states that she met Vick at a Virginia Beach nightclub in May 2001 and, shortly thereafter, began a close personal relationship with the football star (though the couple did not have sex until late-2002). Last December, Vick, the top overall pick in the 2001 National Football League draft, signed a ten-year, $130 million contract with the Falcons, the richest deal in league history. (17 pages)

Rolan Roberts- suspended from Virginia Tech for a year by the university's Judicial Review Board. The charges he was "convicted" of by the board are assault and sexual misconduct. Arising from the same incident, fellow basketball player Dennis Mims (more below) was convicted of assault.
Roberts was suspended from Tech for the 2000-2001 academic school year, while Mims was placed on "deferred suspension," which still left him eligible to attend school and play basketball. The two players were convicted as a result of a charge by a female Tech student, who says the two players raped her.
Dennis Mims- Mims was later suspended indefinitely?. TWICE (attaboy Dennis!) ?once for "violating a team rule on class attendance"?.

Pedro Edison- TE, was charged by the Blacksburg police with three misdemeanors, including resisting arrest, breaking the windshield in a private vehicle near his apartment, and shattering a window in a police car. The incident started with a call to the Blacksburg police, who responded to University Terrace just before midnight when a caller said a man had used his foot to shatter a car windshield. Witnesses identified Edison, whom police said had to be subdued with pepper spray. Edison was placed in the back seat of a marked police car. Within minutes, police say he kicked out a back window.
Earlier in the year, Edison had pled guilty to a misdemeanor reckless driving charge resulting from a vehicular accident in Augusta County in 1996. Edison was driving friends home from a party when he wrecked his car, resulting in the death of one of the passengers. Edison passed a breathalyzer test at the scene and was not charged with driving while intoxicated. He had simply been driving too fast, admitting to police that he traveled 55 miles per hour in a 25 mph zone. Facing a felony involuntary manslaughter charge, Edison plea-bargained the charge to reckless driving. Edison is scheduled to serve a jail sentence at the conclusion of the academic semester for that offense.

Marcus Parker- convicted of shoplifting from a Blacksburg grocery store. Suspended for four games to start the season, he was called back into duty when starting RB Brian Edmonds was left in Blacksburg as the team traveled to a game with Nebraska.

George DelRicco- George Del Ricco was having a party at his Terrace View apartment to celebrate his free-agent signing when the third-floor balcony of Del Ricco's apartment, which was loaded with approximately 20 people and a keg full of beer in a trash can full of ice, collapsed onto the balcony below. Unfortunately, the party was also going on at the second floor level as well, with people on that balcony, too. Both balconies then collapsed and fell to the ground.
Three people were hospitalized.
Jesus Rodriguez- charged with grand larceny and three counts of misdemeanor petit larceny after stealing at least $3,000 in jewelry and other items from six fellow Virginia Tech students. The victims include Tech basketball player Shawn Browne, who had a $2,000 necklace stolen from his locker, Jesus? next door neighbors (hundreds of dollars in bracelets and necklaces), and the inhabitants of two dorm rooms in Cochran Hall (a watch and $475 in compact discs).
Walter Ford ? in ?97 was convicted in a shoplifting scheme in which he "purchased" nearly $200 worth of stuff from the Tech bookstore for 22 cents. Ford committed this crime shortly after the Blacksburg Brawl story broke, and shortly after Frank Beamer had said, "The next player who screws up is history."
Frank Beamer dismissed Walter Ford and stated that he would not be reinstated to the team.
The cashier who "sold" him the merchandise was convicted in the case, and in Ford's original trial in December, he pled innocent but was found guilty. Ford alleged that other football team members had shoplifted as well.
Ford was dismissed from the team in October, and reinstated by Coach Beamer for spring practice "on a conditional basis."
He missed the Hokie Spring game though, as the game date inconveniently conflicted with his jail term. He rejoined the team after being released.
