The Associated Press reports that Steve Foley, a linebacker whose NFL career ended after he was shot by an off-duty police officer, faces a felony charge of attack by a dog after his pit bulls bit a woman and killed her puppy.
Foley, 32, surrendered at the Fort Bend County (Texas) Jail on Wednesday and was released later in the day on a $10,000 bond, said public information officer Terriann Carlson. A grand jury indicted Foley, accusing him of failing to secure the dogs. The two adult pit bulls attacked neighbor Twana Schulz on March 26, causing serious bodily injury when they bit her on the arms and face, according to court documents. Foley was not home at the time of the incident, said his attorney, Paul Nugent.
