It's been a busy offseason for the Chiefs for all the wrong reasons, and it's only continuing.

Defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs is in trouble with the law again, accused of domestic violence and burglary, according to ProFootballTalk.

Last month, Buggs, 27, was the victim of two misdemeanors in an animal cruelty case. Buggs turned himself in to police in Tuscaloosa after allegedly mistreating two dogs, one of which had to be euthanized.

Police had issued arrest warrants for Buggs on two counts of second-degree animal cruelty on May 29 and a day later he turned himself in at the Tuscaloosa County Jail, according to reports .

Police said a neighbor reported two dogs being left on the back porch of a place the Chiefs player was renting. When animal control arrived, a gray and white pit bull and a black Rottweiler were found without access to food and water.

His agent Trey Robinson denied any wrongdoing and claimed the problem stemmed from an “ongoing subversive campaign” aimed at forcing Buggs to close the hookah lounge he owns in Tuscaloosa.

Robinson said in his statement at the time that Buggs did not “tolerate the mistreatment of any animal” and that the dogs were not his and that he did not know they had remained on the property.

Buggs isn't the only Chiefs player having issues off the field.

Wide receiver Rashee Rice faces eight pending criminal charges stemming from a street racing incident in Dallas and, weeks later, allegedly punched a photographer at a nightclub.
