NFL Veteran Cut from Team, Sentenced to Hard Labor for Animal Cruelty Convictions
A defensive lineman who was most recently part of the Kansas City Chiefs has been sentenced to hard labor after being convicted of animal cruelty.
Isaiah Buggs, who played football for Alabama, was convicted of two misdemeanor animal cruelty charges on July 19, according to AL.com.
Buggs was sentenced to 365 days of hard labor in Tuscaloosa County by Tuscaloosa County District Judge Joanne Jannik.
She said 60 days of the sentence must be served, with the rest suspended for two years pending “the behavior of the defendant.”
The judge ordered Buggs not have guns, cats or dogs.
Buggs is appealing the conviction.
