RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Michael Vick pleaded innocent Thursday to federal dogfighting charges and was released without bond until a Nov. 26 trial.
The Atlanta Falcons quarterback appeared at a bond hearing Thursday afternoon to enter a plea on dogfighting conspiracy charges.
Vick arrived at 3 p.m. in a black sport utility vehicle and was booed by a crowd of hundreds.
He said nothing as he walked into the courthouse, which was lined by spectators who began gathering at dawn.
Vick is accused with three others of conspiracy involving competitive dogfighting, procuring and training pit bulls for fighting, and conducting the enterprise across state lines.
Federal prosecutors allege the operation -- known as Bad Newz Kennels -- operated on Vick's property in Surry County.
