India, July 23 -- Former football player Le'Veon Moss, who announced his retirement just days after signing with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent, is now facing legal issues following a tragic incident involving his young son.

According to WBRZ News, the former Texas A&M running back was arrested Monday in his hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on a charge of cruelty to a juvenile.

Authorities allege that Moss' two-year-old son accidentally shot himself after gaining access to a firearm that had reportedly been stored beneath Moss' pillow.

The report states that Moss was asleep when the gun discharged. He immediately rushed his son to Our Lady of the Lake Children's Hospital, located about 15 minutes from his apartment. ...
