Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs reportedly has two warrants out for his arrest for alleged animal cruelty in Alabama, according to the Tuscaloosa Patch.

The outlet obtained civil documents filed on Wednesday that say police received information March 28 about dogs being left on the back porch of a home rented by Buggs. 

According to witnesses, Buggs moved out of the home March 19 due to owing over $3,100 in rent.

Buggs, 27, has two misdemeanor warrants for second-degree cruelty to dogs or cats. 

According to the documents, Tuscaloosa Animal Control found two dogs — a gray and white pitbull and a black Rottweiler — without access to food or water on the back porch. While the pitbull was free on the back porch, which was screened, the Rottweiler was in a metal cage in direct sunlight. 

Both dogs were determined to be severely malnourished, emaciated and neglected and were taken away by animal control. The pitbull was euthanized in April, while the Rottweiler is in the Tuscaloosa County Metro Animal Shelter.
