In May, he was charged with animal cruelty in
Tuscaloosa after two dogs under his care -- a Pitbull and a
Rottweiler mix -- were found to be neglected and severely
malnourished, AL.com reported. One of the dogs had to be
euthanized.
NFL Network reported that his bond has been revoked and that
Buggs currently is being held in custody in the Tuscaloosa
County Jail.
After the May arrest, Buggs' agent issued a statement saying the
player denied the charges.
Buggs, who played college football at Alabama, was selected by
the Steelers in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He spent
three seasons in Pittsburgh and the past two with the Detroit
Lions. Released in January by the Lions, he joined the Chiefs
the following month, signing a one-year, $1.29 million contract
with $350,000 in guarantees.
The 27-year-old Buggs has played in 56 games (23 starts) and
posted 89 tackles, 12 quarterback hits and two sacks. He
returned one fumble for 33 yards.
