CHRISTIANSBURG, Va. (AP) - Suspended Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick pleaded no contest Monday to a misdemeanor charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor stemming from a night of drinking with underage girls.

Vick, younger brother of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, received a suspended 30-day jail sentence, was fined $100 and ordered to perform 24 hours of community service.

Vick and teammates Mike Imoh and Brenden Hill had an encounter with 14- and 15-year-old girls at the quarterback's apartment during the winter.

Last month, Vick pleaded guilty to reckless driving and no contest to marijuana possession related to a traffic stop this summer. As part of a plea agreement, Vick was placed in a drug offender program requiring 24 hours of community service, drug counseling and random drug tests. He also must give up his driver's license for six months.

Tech suspended Vick this season and said he could be readmitted after completing a drug education and counseling program. If he has any more criminal, athletic or university violations, Vick would be permanently dismissed.
