Filed under: Chargers, Texans, NFL Fans, NFL Police BlotterPrior to his most recent legal troubles, Steve Foley was best known for taking three bullets from an off-duty police officer during a bizarre altercation in Sept. 2006.

Yesterday, the reported that Foley, out of football since the shooting, was “indicted on a charge of attack by a dog” after his two pit bulls attacked a woman and her puppy. Foley’s lawyer called the incident an accident, sorta like that time Joey Porter’s dogs inadvertently ate a small horse. The indictment, a third-degree felony, was unsealed Wednesday. Foley is accused of failing to secure the dogs, which made an unprovoked attack on a neighbor on the afternoon of March 26, according to court documents. The neighbor, Twana Schulz, suffered serious bodily injury when she was bitten on the arms and face, the indictment said. Foley’s dogs have since been “seized and destroyed” (in “shock and awe fashion”, no doubt, to send a message to the other would-be doggie offenders). Joking aside, it sounds like harrowing experience; Schulz’s puppy was killed in the attack. If Foley is convicted, he could serve up to 10 years in the joint.

Responsible pit bull owners everywhere would like to take this opportunity to thank Foley for his negligence.
