KC - DT Isaiah Buggs facing animal cruelty charges
The whole story on this. Sad and disgusting:
"The petition goes on to say that when TPD and the City of Tuscaloosa's Animal Control officers arrived, they found a grey and white pitbull on the screened-in back porch surrounded in feces, with no access to food or water.
Those responding reported finding a black Rottweiler mix locked in a metal cage in direct sunlight with no access to food or water.
The petition said the dogs were seized on March 28 due to both being severely "malnourished, emaciated and neglected."
The residence also appeared to be abandoned at the time of the initial call, the petition said.
A neighbor also told police that the dogs had been on the back porch for at least 10 days.
Investigators found that the house, which is owned by Omega Reality Group, was being rented to Buggs, who reportedly owns Kings Hookah Lounge on Greensboro Avenue in Tuscaloosa.
Police reported that his lease was terminated on April 15 due to owing $3,116.90 in back rent, with witnesses saying that Buggs had moved out of the house on or about March 19.
The pitbull was euthanized in April by Tuscaloosa County Metro Animal Shelter after becoming increasingly aggressive and failing heartworm treatment at the shelter.
The civil petition against Buggs says the black Rottweiler mix tested positive for Parvo and only weighed 52 pounds when it arrived at the shelter — a dangerously low weight for that kind of dog breed."
