Former NFL player sentenced to 60 days of hard labor for animal cruelty.

Isaiah Buggs, a former NFL player, has been sentenced to hard labor in his home state of Alabama following his conviction on animal cruelty charges. This comes after he was released from the Kansas City Chiefs in June due to a separate arrest.

According to the Associated Press, a judge in Tuscaloosa found Buggs guilty of two misdemeanor animal cruelty charges. He will serve 60 days of hard labor in Alabama, with the rest of his sentence suspended for two years based on his behavior. This sentence stems from allegations that Buggs neglected and mistreated two dogs that were in his care. Court documents state that the animals were found malnourished and neglected, with no access to food or water.

Authorities issued arrest warrants for Buggs in May, but his agent initially claimed that the charges were a tactic to force him to close his hookah lounge. However, a subsequent arrest in June for domestic violence and burglary led to the Chiefs cutting ties with him. The incident involved Buggs allegedly pushing the mother of his child down a flight of stairs.

Despite these legal troubles, Buggs' attorney, Greg Gambril, remains confident that the case is not over yet. He described the situation as confusing and in need of further explanation. Meanwhile, Buggs' future in the NFL remains uncertain, as he is currently a free agent.

Buggs was originally drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019 and spent three seasons with the team before joining the Detroit Lions. He then joined the Chiefs' practice squad in 2023 and recently signed a contract worth almost $1.3 million. However, his recent legal issues have put his football career on hold.

The details of Buggs' hard labor sentence have not been disclosed. It is also worth noting that this news comes in the wake of another high-profile animal cruelty case, involving R&B singer Jaheim, who was recently arrested and charged with starving 15 dogs. It is a reminder of the importance of treating animals with care and respect.
