The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to become the only team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowl championships this coming season. But if they happen to accomplish this historic goal, they will have overcome what has been an offseason marred with controversy off of the football field.
The organization has had numerous players deal with several run-ins with the law. Most notably, Chiefs star wide receiver Rashee Rice, who first had a run-in after a high-speed crash earlier this offseason and later in an assault at a Dallas nightclub.
Rice has been joined in controversy this offseason by Chiefs defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs, who faces charges of animal cruelty after two dogs were found on the porch of one of the rental homes he was staying in looking “extremely malnourished emaciated and neglected”.
Buggs further got himself into trouble on Sunday, getting arrested yet again after being accused of dragging the mother of his child down a set of stairs and injuring her.
TMZ obtained the court documents of this arrest, detailing that the woman told police Buggs broke into her residence in Tuscaloosa, Alabama with a tire iron early Sunday morning and then went upstairs to confront her. The woman then claimed Buggs dragged her down the stairs. The woman had several injuries following the incident, including scratch marks on her wrist and several broken toenails.
Buggs was ultimately he was placed under arrest shortly after this incident, later being charged with domestic violence and burglary.
This is obviously a nasty situation all around. But particularly looks bad when you consider this is the second time in under a month that Buggs has been arrested for separate incidents.
