David Montgomery’s girlfriend Tatum Causey charged after couple’s pitbull dog gets involved in biting incident: Reports

Running back David Montgomery of the Detroit Lions and his girlfriend' Tatum Causey's home is the scene of a violent altercation, as reported by TMZ Sports. Police records state that residents reported being assaulted by Lola, a pitbull hybrid that belongs to Montgomery and Causey.

Causey told police that she didn't discover Lola leaving the apartment until she stepped outside into the backyard. Causey, who has a child with Montgomery, recalled going in and asking:

"Anybody see Lola?"

In a situation document, Montgomery's neighbors said that during the incident, Lola seized their dog's leg and wouldn't let go.

The parties complaining further claimed that during the incident, they sustained bite-related injuries and puncture wounds. They added that the veterinary professional discovered two leg fractures in their pet, which necessitated stitches.

Causey was charged with misdemeanor, keeping an aggressive pet. Court documents, though, indicate that at a hearing two months ago, she entered a not guilty plea to the case. She's scheduled for a second hearing in the case next month, according to the entries.
