Report: Former Lions DT Isaiah Buggs cut from Chiefs after mounting legal troubles

According to Tom Pelissero, the Kansas City Chiefs have informed former Detroit Lions defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs that he is being released. The move comes after Buggs had several run-ins with the Tuscaloosa Police Department, the latest of which includes a second-degree domestic violence accusation.

As detailed by AL.com, Buggs has had a series of offseason legal issues over the last two offseasons. He allegedly shoved a police officer amidst a dispute regarding the overcrowdedness of Buggs’ business—a hookah lounge. He also had an altercation at the lounge that allegedly ended with Buggs and his brother pointing a gun at a car.
