BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Former Raven Terrence Cody was acquitted on multiple animal abuse charges Monday, but convicted of multiple neglect charges.

According to WJZ news partner the Baltimore Sun, the decision came down Monday afternoon via Twitter.

Cody was indicted on 15 charges of animal abuse and neglect. Those 15 counts include: two felony counts of aggravated animal cruelty, 10 misdemeanor counts of animal abuse and neglect, 1 count of possession of an alligator, 1 count of possession of marijuana, and 1 count of possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia.

The Ravens announced in January they were going to terminate Cody’s contract following the Super Bowl. On February 2, he was terminated, hours later he turned himself in.

According to court documents, Cody “intentionally tortured” the animal including failing to provide his dog Taz with proper space, food, drink, and veterinary care. Documents also state Cody inflicted suffering and pain on Taz–ultimately, intentionally “cruelly killing” the dog.

The Sun reports that Assistant State’s Attorney Adam Lippe is prosecuting the case.
