Kansas City Chiefs’ Isaiah Buggs was arrested Sunday in connection with a burglary charge in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where he is already facing charges of animal cruelty after police seized two malnourished dogs.
According to jail records, Buggs was arrested on a charge of second-degree domestic violence burglary and posted a $5,000 surety bond. A photo of the 27-year-old defensive tackle was included in the records. Trey Robinson, an agent for Buggs, did not immediately return a request for comment. Alabama law states that a domestic violence burglary charge is issued when the victim of the alleged crime is a parent, child, a current or former romantic partner of the suspect.
Witnesses told police that Buggs rented the residence until mid to late March 19 and the documents state the agreement was terminated in April because more than $3,000 in back rent was owed. Robinson said at the time that his client “vehemently denies” the allegations. He added that the dogs do not belong to Buggs and his client was not aware they were at still at the property. “Under no circumstance does Mr. Buggs condone the mistreatment of any animal,” Robinson said in an emailed statement.
