Chiefs’ Isaiah Buggs arrested on domestic violence, burglary charges weeks after animal cruelty arrest
NY Post
It’s been a busy offseason for the Chiefs for the wrong reasons, and it is only continuing.
Defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs is in trouble with the law again, charged with domestic violence and burglary, according to ProFootballTalk.
Last month, Buggs, 27, was hit with a pair of misdemeanors in an animal cruelty case. Buggs turned himself into police in Tuscaloosa after allegedly mistreating two dogs, one of which had to be euthanized.
Police had issued arrest warrants for Buggs over charges of two counts of second-degree animal cruelty on May 29 and a day later he surrendered at the Tuscaloosa County Jail, according to reports.
Police said that a neighbor reported two dogs had been left on the back porch of a place the Chiefs player was renting. When animal control arrived, a gray and white pit bull and a black Rottweiler were found without access to food and water.
His agent Trey Robinson denied any wrongdoing and claimed the issue stemmed from an “on-going subversive campaign” to force Buggs to close down the hookah lounge he owns in Tuscaloosa.
Every one of his 23 catches is preserved in his stat log. The same with his 271 receiving yards and his three touchdowns. His 37 targets reflect that he is not one of the focal points — he is the focal point. The leaps into the air to snare the ball and quick pivots and spins to wriggle past defenders are newly minted memories for fans who went from wait-and-see to here-and-now when it comes to anointing this youngster as legit.
