Former Detroit Lions—and current Kansas City Chiefs—defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs has been accused of animal cruelty, and according to documents obtained by Patch.com, is expected to face two misdemeanor charges.
Per the civil petition, two dogs were found abandoned on Buggs’ property: a rottweiler mix locked in a metal cage without food or water available, and a pitbull on the screened-in back porch. According to witnesses on hand, the dogs were left there for “at least 10 days.” When the dogs were eventually seized following police arrival, they were malnourished and emaciated.
