Helotes, Texas – A former NFL player was arrested on animal cruelty charges after he abandoned a puppy in a hot storage unit on days when the temperature climbed to 100 degrees. As reported by CBS Austin, Dwayne Anthony Missouri, a former Dallas Cowboys player, allegedly left the puppy in a non-climate-controlled unit at the Storage Mart at 12420 State HWY 16.
Missouri tried to blame the abandonment on someone else, but surveillance footage confirmed that he was responsible for leaving the puppy in the unit. A police officer responded to the property on June 20 after someone reported hearing a puppy barking.
The officer found a puppy in the hot storage space with two empty bowls, and “clothes and shoes.”
The puppy was taken to Helotes Animal Control and Missouri was booked into Bexar County jail on Sunday, October 1.

what a douche bag. he sucked as a player as well, worthless.
Worthless piece of crap
American Football is the most misogynistic and violent of “sports.” And all too often, it seems, pro players seem to carry the violence and lack of compassion over to others, whether human or members of other species. Universal humane education is needed. And of course it would improve matters if this violent waste of time was not promoted and monetized.
Arrested? Good.
Does anyone know if this POS still works at a school with kids almost as defenseless as a dog and whether he’s still working on certification as a SPECIAL ED TEACHER? This is exactly the type of person who doesn’t need to be anywhere near children.
I hope this oxygen thief suffers, and suffers horribly
I totally agree Tracey!!!
Puppy found June 20th.Hes arrested October 1st.Hmmmm nothing is rarely taken seriously on behalf of animals.
He needs to serve time behind bars and also be banned from ever owning another dog or pet for that matter. It’s obvious he doesn’t respect or consider animals as anything but property to be left in a storage container. What a worthless piece of human garbage. Let’s pray the judge he gets isn’t a football fan or soft on crimes committed against animals.
Throw this piece of garbage in the clink and leave him there for good.
Waste of human skin.
Throw him in jail and let the other inmates have at him.
See how he likes it.
Effen nigger! Not a black man or a man of color…. There’s a difference!!!!
It hurts my soul that this worthless piece of flesh played for the team I have loved for over 40 years. He needs to get the harshest penalty possible. And he should never be allowed to own animals again.
What a sorry excuse of human.Couldn’t play worth a damn and good thing Jerry booted him off the team.Somebody should lock his dark azz in a storage Unit in 100 plus temps with nothing but shoes
Big piece of Garbage
We need to put him in the storage container and make sure we forget he is in there for months…That would be KARMA
What a POS!! He needs to be punished!
This heartbreaking to know what that poor puppy went though. Being a ” former” NFL player he should be a ashamed and what a embrassment&disgrace to the NFL league,even if his a “former”player. It’s wise that he takes accountability for his actions&get the maximum sentence he deserves no leniency should be granted. No animal deserves that kind of cruelty.
