On the same day the Ravens officially terminated Terrence Cody’s contract, it was revealed just how much trouble the defensive tackle is in with the law.
Baltimore County Police announced Monday that the 26-year-old was indicted for animal cruelty that allegedly involves a dog and an alligator. Cody posted $10,000 bail and was released after being processed.
According to the state attorney’s office, the 2010 second-round pick is facing 15 counts, which include two felony counts of aggravated animal cruelty involving a dog, five counts of animal abuse or neglect involving a dog, one count of illegal possession of an alligator, five counts of animal abuse or neglect of an alligator, a count of possession of drug paraphernalia, and a count of marijuana possession.
Of those charges, the felony counts carry the most severe penalty of up to three years in prison.
Needless to say, where Cody might play football next season is the least of his worries at the moment. He was limited to just one game and nine total snaps after spending the first half of the 2014 season recovering from offseason hip surgery.
