Chiefs' Former Alabama DL Isaiah Buggs Faces Misdemeanor Animal Cruelty Charges in Tuscaloosa

Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman and former Alabama player Isaiah Buggs is facing two misdemeanor warrants in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, for second-degree cruelty to dogs. Buggs is accused of leaving two dogs locked on his property without access to food or water. The animals were reportedly found chained up, surrounded by feces, and were seized on March 28. Buggs denies the allegations, claiming that he is being targeted by police due to a business dispute involving his local hookah lounge. His agent, Trey Robinson, stated that Buggs has been subjected to police harassment and has been arrested twice over his refusal to close the lounge. Court records also reveal that Buggs was arrested in April for menacing after pointing a gun at a woman at his hookah lounge and for shoving a Tuscaloosa police chief. This development adds to the Chiefs' chaotic offseason as the Super Bowl champs deal with another controversy.
