RICHMOND, Virginia (Ticker) - Michael Vick turned himself into to the U.S. Marshalls Service in order to begin serving his expected jail term, according to report by the Richmond Times-Dispatch on Monday.

Vick surrendered to get a head start on serving whatever sentence he receives on December 10 for pleading guilty to federal dogfighting charges.

According to the report, Vick was transported from the U.S. Courthouse downtown to one of the regional jails where federal prisoners are housed.

Vick, the disgraced quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons, and all three of his co-defendants have pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of illegal gambling and sponsor a dog in animal fighting.

When he is sentenced, Vick faces up to five years in prison.

Vick also faces state charges of animal cruelty in Surry County, where he and his co-defendants operated the dogfighting operation known as Bad Newz Kennels.

I have been pretty hard on him about this whole thing from the beginning. He has been very stand up about it though and has owned up to everything, I'll give him that. Now it looks like he's serving time and though I do feel for him, I can't help think of the torment and abuse those innocent dogs suffered at his hands. I don't see how anyone could have it in them to do that, it's really sad.

He's an adult. He made a choice, of his own free will. He needs to pay the price for making that choice.

He owned up to everything because his scumbag accomplices rolled on him. He gets no credit, as a result.

I hope he gets raped in prison.

He should be serving the maximum five years PER DOG (he admitted to killing or helping to kill 8 dogs). Anything less is a mockery of justice. I hope he's penniless when he gets out - if he makes it through his sentence alive.

He'll get special treatment like all other celebrity felons do. And that's a tragedy. But at least, the word "felon" will follow him around for the remainder of his life.

I'm still hoping he gets raped by an HIV-positive bully in there. A girl can dream, right?
