Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs faces another offseason criminal charge, this time for domestic violence and burglary. According to TMZ, Buggs allegedly broke into the home of the mother of his child and dragged her down a flight of stairs.
The woman reportedly had scratches on her wrists, and "clip-on toenails" were broken from the incident. She called police as he was leaving the house, and he was arrested in the parking lot of a local Little Caesars.

Buggs has since been charged with domestic violence and burglary after already facing two misdemeanor warrants for second-degree cruelty to dogs last month.
The 27-year-old Buggs turned himself in late last month in Tuscaloosa for the animal cruelty charges after two dogs were allegedly found "severely malnourished, emaciated and neglected" on the back porch of a rental home he was staying at earlier this year.

Neither the Chiefs nor Buggs' representatives immediately responded to Fox News Digital for a request for comment at that time.
The Chiefs have had an eventful offseason, and run-ins with the law have made headlines, especially in the case of second-year receiver Rashee Rice's car crash in Dallas. Rice was also accused of striking a photographer at a Dallas nightclub, but no charges were filed.

Buggs, a sixth-round pick out of Alabama by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019, joined the Chiefs as a member of their practice squad before their playoff run, which ended in another Super Bowl title. He signed a reserve/future contract with Kansas City Feb. 14.
Buggs' arrest is the latest in a string of off-field incidents involving NFL players this offseason. In recent weeks, several players have been arrested for DUI, domestic violence and other charges.
The NFL has been criticized for its handling of off-field misconduct in the past, and the league has recently announced new policies aimed at addressing the issue.
It remains to be seen how the Chiefs will discipline Buggs, but it is clear that the team is taking the matter seriously. Buggs could face a suspension from the NFL, and he could also face additional criminal charges.
