The former Pittsburgh Steelers draft pick turned himself in after two warrants were issued.
PITTSBURGH -- Former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle and sixth-round pick Isaiah Buggs has been arrested for two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty after turning himself in following news of warrants,police were informed that two dogs were left on a back porch of a rental property that was last occupied by Buggs. The same civil petition states that when animal control officers arrived, they also found a pittbull on a screened-in porch with no food or water, surrounded by feces.
Buggs's agent denied the claims against his client, stating the charges are part of a "subversive campaign" to force the closure of his hookah lounge in Tuscaloosa. "Under no circumstance does Mr. Buggs condone the mistreatment of any animal,'' Buggs's agent said in a statement. "The dogs at issue did not belong to him, and he was unaware they remained at the property in question."
Buggs spent three years with the Steelers before spending the last two seasons with the Detroit Lions and signing with the Kansas City Chiefs.Noah is the Publisher for All Steelers, Inside the Panthers and Inside the Penguins , and is the host of All Steelers Talk . A Scranton native, Noah made his way to the Pittsburgh sports scene in 2017. Now, he's pretty much full-yinzer.
