Former Detroit Lion Isaiah Buggs arrested for domestic violence/burglary in Alabama

Former Detroit Lions and current Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs was arrested for the second time in a month on domestic violence and burglary charges in Alabama and released Sunday on $5,000 bail, according to Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office records.

There were no further details about the arrest. The police chiefs were informed about the case but did not want to comment.

The 27-year-old Buggs, who signed a $1,292,500 contract with Kansas City for the upcoming season, turned himself in on May 30 after being charged with two counts of second degree animal crueltyTwo dogs in Buggs' care were reportedly found neglected and malnourished, and one of the dogs had to be euthanized.

Buggs, a run-stuffing tackle from Alabama, played three seasons for the Pittsburgh Steelers before spending the last two with the Lions. He has started 23 games in his career and appeared in 56 games, recording 89 tackles and two sacks.

The Chiefs wanted to add Buggs to bolster the middle of their line, but that was before they signed All-Pro tackle Chris Jones to a long-term deal and signed Derrick Nnadi and Tershawn Wharton, both of whom were free agents.

The Chiefs, who celebrated their recent championship with a ring ceremony on Thursday and are aiming for their record third consecutive Super Bowl, have struggled with a series of off-field legal disputes since their win over the San Francisco 49ers in February.

Wide receiver Rashee Rice faces eight charges in connection with a high-speed crash in Dallas, and offensive linemen Chukwuebuka Godrick and Wanya Morris were arrested last month in Johnson County, Kansas, on minor possession of marijuana.
