NFL lineman Isaiah Buggs sentenced to hard labor for animal cruelty charges

NFL defensive defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs was sentenced Thursday to 365 days of hard labor after being convicted of animal cruelty charges.

According to Kansas City’s WRBC , Buggs was ordered 60 days with credit, with the remaining 300 days suspended for two years pending behavior.

“The Buggs situation is confusing and bears explaining, but it has not been concluded yet,” his attorney, Greg Gambril, told WRBC.

Buggs, who was part of the Chiefs’ practice squad last season, was accused of leaving two dogs “malnourished, emaciated and neglected” in documents filed in Tuscaloosa District Court.

He allegedly dragged Yamya Johnson, the mother of his child, down the stairs of her apartment.
