Former Steelers defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs faces multiple counts of animal cruelty.
Buggs faces two charges of second-degree animal cruelty after two dogs were found malnourished on property he has been renting in the Tuscaloosa, Alabama area.
CBS Tuscaloosa reporter Tim Reid reports Buggs turned himself in on Thursday.
Buggs was drafted by the Steelers in the sixth-round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Alabama.
He spent three seasons in Pittsburgh, appearing in 29 games (starting in seven of them).
He then played the next two years with Detroit before being released on January 2 this past year.
He was signed to the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad two days later and was a member of the organization when they won the Super Bowl.
Buggs was also reportedly accused of pushing a police officer earlier this year.
Buggs signed a reserve/future contract with Chiefs in the offseason.
