The off-season woes continue for the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, as defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs faces misdemeanor animal cruelty charges after police seized two malnourished dogs abandoned on his rented property.
Police in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, were called to a home on Diamond Circle in March and found a gray and white pit bull on a screened-in back porch surrounded by feces with no access to food or water, court documents filed Wednesday say. A black rottweiler mix was found "locked in a metal cage in direct sunlight with no access to food or water."
Authorities filed two warrants alleging second-degree cruelty to dogs against Buggs.
Trey Robinson, an agent for Buggs, said his client "vehemently denies the truthfulness of the allegations and charges asserted against him."
"Under no circumstance does Mr. Buggs condone the mistreatment of any animal," Robinson said in an emailed statement.
