NFL Player Facing Cruelty Charges For Abandoning Two Dogs

Tuscaloosa County, AL – An NFL player is facing animal cruelty charges for allegedly abandoning two dogs at a rented home. According to sources, 27-year-old Isaiah Buggs, a defensive tackle with the Kansas City Chiefs, moved out of a Tuscaloosa home around March 19 – on March 28, police found a pit bull on a feces covered, screened-in porch, and a rottweiler locked in a cage without food or water.

When the dogs were discovered, they were “severely malnourished, emaciated, neglected,” and the home appeared to be abandoned. The pit bull was ultimately euthanized at the Tuscaloosa County Metro Animal Shelter because of failed heartworm treatment, and aggression.
