Isaiah Buggs allegedly left two dogs ‘malnourished, emaciated and neglected’ while under his ownership.
Former NFL player Isaiah Buggs will take on hard labor in Alabama due to his conviction on animal cruelty charges. The Kansas City Chiefs released Buggs from their roster in June after his second arrest for another offense.
Buggs allegedly left two dogs “malnourished, emaciated and neglected” while under his ownership, as revealed in court documents obtained by the New York Post. According to the Tuscaloosa Patch, police found a white pitbull surrounded by feces on Buggs’ porch, while a Rottweiler also sat in a cage. Both animals had no access to food or water, court documents said.
Law enforcement issued arrest warrants against the professional athlete in May. His agent, Trey Robinson, initially called the charges a tactic to get Buggs to close his hookah lounge.
However, another arrest in June for domestic violence and burglary shifted Buggs’ NFL career. He allegedly pushed his child’s mother down a flight of stairs, leading to the Chiefs’ decision. Despite this, Buggs’ attorney called the conviction “confusing” and remains adamant that the case is not over.
Buggs’ attorney, however, called the conviction “confusing,” yet remains adamant that the case is not over.
“The Buggs situation is confusing and bears explaining, but it has not been concluded yet,” explained the lawyer, Greg Gambril, to WRBC.
The specifics of his hard labor have not been disclosed.
