Michael Vick is locked up.

Michael Vick has surrendered to U.S. Marshals on Monday to begin serving time on his criminal sentence for his part in a dogfighting operation. However, Michael Vick will not even learn what his jail sentence is in relation to his dogfighting conspiracy charge until December.

He was transported from the U.S. Courthouse in downtown Richmond, Virginia over to Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw. Fox News quoted an order filed in U.S. District Court, which read, "This matter is before the Court after Defendant Michael Vick has indicated his desire to voluntarily enter custody prior to his sentencing hearing. It appearing appropriate to do so, the U.S. Marshal is ordered to take custody of the Defendant immediately upon his surrender."

Michael Vick is expected to face a 12-to-18 month sentence for his crimes, he could be sentenced to up to 5 years in prison. In August, Michael Vick pleaded guilty to being a part of a dogfighting operation in Surry County, Virginia, known as Bad News Kennelz. During his confession, Michael Vick acknowledged that he had financed the operation starting in 2001, all the way up to this past spring. The plea agreement also had Michael Vick admit that he had been involved in the "victimization and killing of pit bull dogs."
