NFL player now facing 7 years in jail for barking at police dog

Oakland Raiders linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong, 24, reportedly lifted his shirt and taunted the dog called “Bandit” shortly before the start of a game on Sunday. He could be charged with taunting a police K-9, a third degree felony in Pennsylvania.


Chief deputy Kevin Kraus said: “The dog was going crazy. The deputy was trying to control the dog the best she could. We were immediately notified about the incident, and we immediately initiated a criminal investigation into the matter.”

The dog’s handler, Police deputy Maria Watts, said: “Armstrong was shouting “Hey dog, hey dog.” Bandit was very agitated. He wanted me to let him go. I imagine with his training and experience he would have gone to his target who was taunting him.

I don’t want to speculate on what he would have done. No-one in the department, from the sheriff down, is happy about this.” If found guilty, Armstrong could face up to 7 years in prison and a maximum $15,000 fine…
