According to WTAE-TV Pittsburgh, the incident occurred in a tunnel at the stadium prior to the game. Raiders linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong is accused of lifting his shirt, pounding on his chest and barking at the dog before telling a female K-9 deputy to release the dog as he made his way toward the field for the game.

A video from the stadium has been reviewed, and Allegheny County sheriff’s officials are scheduled to meet with the district attorney’s office Tuesday about potential charges. If convicted, Armstrong could face a a third-degree felony charge for taunting the police dog.
The Raiders have been notified of the investigation but have yet to comment on the situation.
