BATON ROUGE – A former Istrouma High and Texas A&M running back was arrested for cruelty to juveniles after his 2-year-old son accidently shot himself, arrest documents say.<\/p>\n
Leveon Moss, 23, of Baton Rouge, took his son to Our Lady of the Lake’s Children Hospital with a gunshot wound Monday night, the Baton Rouge Police Department said. The shooting happened at his South Flannery Road Apartment.<\/p>\n
Moss told officials that he was asleep with his son in his bed, where his son got ahold of a gun he kept underneath his pillow. His son accidentally fired a single shot.<\/p>\n
The affidavit said “due to Moss\u2019 negligence, a child under the age of seventeen suffered unjustifiable pain.” He was arrested Monday.<\/p>\n
Moss played for Texas A&M for four years before signing with the Miami Dolphins after going undrafted. He retired before playing in the NFL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BATON ROUGE – A former Istrouma High and Texas A&M running back was arrested for cruelty to juveniles…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":381434,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,28],"class_list":["post-381433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
