Former Texans Player Charged After Dog Attack
RICHMOND, Texas (AP) ―
Former Houston Texans linebacker Steve Foley faces a felony charge of attack by a dog after his pit bulls bit a woman on the face and arms and killed her puppy.
Foley, 32, surrendered at the Fort Bend County Jail on Wednesday. A Fort Bend jail spokeswoman said Foley was no longer being held there Wednesday night.
An indictment accuses Foley of failing to secure the dogs. The 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.
Schulz, 36, was walking to the corner to pick her daughter up from the school bus when she was attacked. When a neighbor yelled that the pit bulls were loose, Schulz headed back toward her house.
"I got to almost our sidewalk when they attacked us," she said after the attack.
Schulz had been carrying a puppy, named Schinckers. The pit bulls jerked the puppy from her hands and killed it.
Foley's dogs were seized by animal control officers and later put to sleep.
A telephone number could not be found for Foley.
Foley faces punishment of two to 10 years in prison if convicted.
The Arkansas native played for the Cincinnati Bengals from 1998 to 2002, the Houston Texans in 2003 and the San Diego Chargers from 2004 to 2006.
