The Chiefs defensive tackle Isiah Buggs denied the allegations against him.
The plot of the accusations against Isaiah Buggs is thickening. The Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle not only denied the animal abuse accusations against him but also accused the authorities of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, of extorting him to close his hookah shop in the city.
Until a week ago, Isaiah Buggs’ name was one of the least known to Chiefs fans. That changed a couple of days ago when accusations of animal cruelty began to become public. The alleged mistreatment warranted the euthanasia of one dog while another remains in a shelter.
Buggs did not remain silent, and his agent, Trey Robinson, published a statement refuting the charges. “Isaiah vehemently denies the truthfulness of the allegations and charges asserted against him today,” begins the document published by NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero on X, formerly Twitter.
Robinson stressed that the defensive lineman condemns animal abuse in any form. “The dogs at issue did not belong to him, and he was unaware they remained at the property in question,” said the Buggs representative
