Former NFL Player Indicted For Pit Bull Attack

Steve Foley, former linebacker for the Houston Texans, has been indicted on a charge of attack by a dog after his two pit bulls were involved in the attack on a woman and her puppy. The woman sustained severe personal injuries and the puppy was killed.

On June 4, 32-year-old Foley surrendered at the Fort Bend County, Texas jail, according to Terriann Carlson, Sheriff’s spokeswoman. He was released on $10,000 bond.

The indictment is a third-degree felony. Foley has been accused of failure to secure the dogs, which attacked one of his neighbors unprovoked on March 26, according to court documents. Thirty-six-year-old Twana Schulz, the victim, sustained serious personal injuries from bites to the arms and face, according to the indictment.

Animal control officers seized the dogs and later destroyed them.

On the day of the attack, Schulz was carrying her puppy, Shinckers, when a neighbor yelled that Foley’s dogs had gotten loose. Schulz then began traveling back toward her home. She said that she had nearly made it to their sidewalk when the dogs attack.

Schulz attempted to hold onto her puppy, but the pit bulls ripped it from her hands and killed it.

If convicted, Foley faces a prison sentence of up to 10 years.
