Chiefs cut Isaiah Buggs after domestic violence, animal cruelty arrests
NY Post
The Chiefs have parted ways with defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs following a series of troubling incidents this offseason.
The team on Monday announced it was cutting Buggs — whom they signed to a futures contract in February — roughly one week after he was arrested and charged with domestic violence/burglary.
Two weeks before that incident — in which Buggs allegedly dragged Yamya Johnson, the mother of his child, down the stairs of her apartment — the 27-year-old turned himself in to Alabama police on May 30 following misdemeanor warrants regarding animal cruelty.
Two dogs were found on the back porch of a home Buggs was renting without access to food and water, according to court documents.
Buggs’ agent, Trey Robinson, denied any wrongdoing by the former sixth-round draft pick and that the animals were not his.
“Under no circumstances does Mr. Buggs condone the mistreatment of any animal,” Robinson said, per NFL.com.
