Michael Vick’s legal problems continue as Atlanta Falcons’ suspended quarter back was indicted by a grand jury on two new state charges related to the dog fighting ring he financed and operated on his Virginia property.

The Surry County Grand Jury issued one count of engaging dogs to fighting and one count of beating, killing or causing dogs to fight, the Newport News Daily Press reported.

The football player had already pleaded guilty to federal dog fighting charges and he is to be sentenced on December 10. His federal case has a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

However, the jury didn’t indict him on eight counts of animal brutality although he had previously admitted in a written plea for the federal that together with his co-defendants he killed six to eight dogs on his property.

According to Vick’s summary of events about the dog fighting case, the dogs were brutally killed in April as a result of the "collective efforts" of himself and two of his three co-defendants, Purnell Peace and Quanis Phillips.

Operation “Bad Newz Kennels”, as they called it, began in 2001 and vas mainly financed by Vick, who paid for the house, in Surry County, Virginia, where the dogs were kenneled and where several fights were set, the summary said.

The members of “Bad Newz Kennels”, including Vick, were disposing of the dogs that didn’t meet their expectations or lost the fights by drowning, electrocution and other similar means.

Since his indefinite suspension from the National Football League and the run-in with the law, Vick began having financial problems as well. He lost several endorsements, including a major one with Nike.

And the “bad newz” keep coming Vick’s way as the Royal Bank of Canada filed suit against him for about US$2.3 million arguing that his guilty plea and the consequential impact on his career have prevented him from repaying a loan.

In the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, the Toronto-based bank said Vick borrowed $2.5 million in January for real estate investments. The terms of the loan indicate that any employment change that might reduce Vick's income constitutes a default on the loan, according to the lawsuit.

"The criminal charges, and resulting impact on the defendant's employment ... materially affect his ability to repay the term note," the bank said in the lawsuit according to the Canadian Press.

The Royal Bank of Canada is demanding $2,313,694.37, plus $499 in interest per day, starting Sept. 19.
