The headlines that broke our hearts: where are these dogs & their abusers now?
Ray Ray Armstrong
Oakland Raiders linebacker, Ray-Ray Armstrong, was investigated by police on charges of taunting a police K9 on game day at Pittsburgh’s Heinz Stadium.
According to Deputy Maria Watts, who was handling her explosives detection dog, Banditt, Armstrong began shouting, “Hey dog! Hey dog!” before lifting his shirt and beating on his chest, jumping around, yelling for the officer to “send the dog,” and making barking noises at the working K9, who quickly became understandably agitated.
Deputy Watts explained that, as part of Banditt’s training, had she not had control of the dog and been able to quickly remove him from the situation, he most certainly would have charged at the player, the target, that was taunting him.
In Pennsylvania, taunting a K9 officer is a third-degree felony offense.
