Animal violation sends Chiefs DT Isaiah Buggs to jail

Published

on

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs turned himself into Tuscaloosa Police on Thursday after warrants were issued against him for animal cruelty. Buggs faces two counts of second-degree animal cruelty after two emaciated and dirty dogs were found on a Tuscaloosa property he was renting.

The situation unfolded in late March when Tuscaloosa police received a tip about two neglected dogs left on a back porch. Upon arrival, police and animal control discovered a grey and white pit bull confined to a screened-in porch and a black Rottweiler mix locked in a metal cage under direct sunlight. Both dogs lacked food and water and appeared severely malnourished and neglected.

Further investigation revealed the property was rented by Buggs, who had moved out around March 19 due to an eviction notice for $3,116.90 in back rent. Neighbors reported the dogs had been left unattended for ten days. Buggs surrendered to authorities, posted a $300 bond for each charge, and has a court hearing set for June 13.

Buggs allegedly assaulted a police officer

In an even more troubling twist, local press report Buggs faces additional legal issues. In April, he was accused of shoving Tuscaloosa Police Chief Bren Blankley during an incident at his Kings Hookah Lounge. Police responded to an overcrowded parking lot and found 283 people inside Buggs lounge, which has a maximum capacity of 83.

When the Chiefs’ DL was cited and told he couldn’t leave, he allegedly became confrontational and pushed Chief Blankley, resulting in his arrest and subsequent release on a $1,600 bond.

Trey Robinson, Buggs’ agent, has denied the charges, claiming his client is a victim of a “subversive campaign” aimed at closing his hookah lounge. Despite the agent’s statements, the gravity of the allegations paints a concerning picture.

The DL is another distraction for the Chiefs

Buggs, who joined the Chiefs’ practice squad last January and secured a reserve/future contract in February, has reportedly earned $5.3 million in his NFL career. Although he is a minor cog in head coach Andy Reid’s machine, these legal troubles could overshadow his contributions on the field and distract the defending Super Bowl champions during a crucial offseason.

As the Chiefs prepare for the upcoming season, Buggs’ off-field issues will undoubtedly be a point of concern. The franchise and its fans will closely watch the developments in his legal battles, hoping for a resolution that aligns with justice and accountability.
