Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs turned himself in Thursday in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to face animal cruelty charges.

Buggs faces two charges of animal cruelty to dogs or cats after two dogs allegedly were found "severely malnourished, emaciated and neglected" on the back porch of a rental home he was staying at earlier this year. 

WBRC FOX6 reporter Bryan Henry attempted to ask Buggs for a comment after posting bond shortly after turning himself in, but he put his hand on Henry’s camera and said, "Don’t walk up in front of me." Buggs, then, got into the truck of his bail bondsman.

Buggs, who joined the Chiefs on their practice squad just before their Super Bowl run earlier this year, is being accused of leaving a gray and white pit bull and black rottweiler on the back porch of a home in Tuscaloosa without food or water. The pit bull was allegedly free to back in the screened-in porch, but the rottweiler was in a metal cage in direct sunlight. 

According to civil documents obtained by the Tuscaloosa Patch, police received information on March 28 that dogs were left on the porch. Witnesses claim Buggs moved out of the home on March 19 due to owing over $3,100 in back rent.
