The 20 year old pleaded no contest today in Montgomery County Circuit Court to one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Vick was sentenced to 30 days in jail, but the jail time was suspended. He was also ordered to perform 24-hours of community service, fined 100 dollars and can not have any contact with the teenage girls.
