Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs was arrested on domestic violence and burglary charges in Alabama early Sunday morning, according to the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office website.

He was being held on $5,000 bail before being released, according to jail records.

This arrest is Buggs' second in less than three weeks. In May, the 27-year-old turned himself in on two counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty.

In a statement provided to NFL Network by his agent, Trey Robinson, Buggs “vehemently denies” the animal cruelty allegations, adding that the dogs did not belong to him.

Robinson also said his client was being targeted as part of an ongoing “subversive campaign” to force the closure of a hookah lounge he owns in Tuscaloosa.

CNN reached out to the Kansas City Chiefs and Buggs' agent, but did not immediately receive a response.

Buggs was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, where he played three seasons.

After his time in Pittsburgh, he spent two years with the Detroit Lions, before joining the Chiefs' practice squad in January.
