Terrence Cody's sentencing for animal neglect postponed

A sentencing hearing for former Alabama All-American Terrence Cody will not be held in Baltimore County Circuit Court on Tuesday as scheduled.

On Nov. 16, a Baltimore County Circuit Court judge found Cody guilty of five counts of animal neglect and two misdemeanor drug charges and set a Jan. 5 date for his sentencing hearing.

The charges stemmed from the death of Cody's Presa Canario, or Canary mastiff, named Taz. The condition of the dog when Cody brought it to the Main Street Veterinary Hospital in Reistertown, Md., shortly before it died in January alarmed the staff there to such a degree that it sparked an investigation that led to an indictment against Cody.
