An attorney for Missouri State quarterback Breck Ruddick said his client has received frequent death threats over allegations of animal abuse based on a Facebook post that “contained numerous inaccuracies and untruths.”
Adam Woody sent a release Monday morning that said Ruddick is a “young man of the highest character, integrity and kindness” and he grew up volunteering for his local humane society and has always been surrounded by pets.”
The release said Ruddick is “anxious to cooperate thoroughly with authorities, both with law enforcement and Missouri State University, and we look forward to the true facts coming to light.
