RICHMOND, Texas -- Former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Steve Foley has been charged with a felony in Texas after his pit bulls bit a woman and killed her puppy.
A sheriff's spokeswoman says Foley surrendered at the Fort Bend County Jail yesterday and was released on a $10,000 bond.
A grand jury indicted Foley, accusing him of failing to secure the dogs.
Authorities say Foley's neighbor Twana Schulz was walking to the corner to pick up her daughter from the school bus when she and her puppy were attacked. Foley's dogs were seized by animal control officers and put to death.
His lawyer says Foley kept two adult pit bulls and some puppies as pets. He says the pit bulls were show dogs, not fighting dogs and had no history of attacks.
