Quanis Phillips, the dog-fighting co-defendant of Michael Vick who was shot outside Vick’s birthday party last year, is heading back to prison.

Phillips has been sent to prison for 11 months for violating his probation by lying to his probation officer when he denied having contact with Vick at the party.

All the Associated Press report indicates that his contact with Vick was Phillips’ primary probation violation, it wasn’t the only one: He also failed to tell his probation officer about being questioned by police that night and on other occasions, skipped a mandatory mental health appointment and failed a drug test.

Phillips was originally sentenced to 21 months in prison and three years of probation after he, Vick and two other men pleaded guilty to running a dog fighting ring.
