Former Ruston High star Isaiah Buggs was released Monday by the Kansas City Chiefs following his June 16th arrest.
Buggs, who was a part of the Kansas City Super Bowl champion effort this past year, was arrested just over a week ago on charges of domestic violence and burglary in Tuscaloosa (Ala.) County.
Tuscaloosa district court documents alleged that Buggs “unlawfully” entered a woman’s apartment that morning and dragged the mother of his child down the stairs with the “intent to commit a crime.”
This came less than a month after he turned himself in for a misdemeanor animal cruelty charge. At that time Buggs’ agent issued a statement saying he “vehemently denies” the allegations.
The former University of Alabama star is entering his sixth season in the NFL.
He was selected in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers where he played three seasons. After two years with the Detroit Lions, Buggs joined Kansas City’s practice squad in January. The Chiefs re-signed him to a futures contract in February.
