The woman reportedly had scratches on her wrists, and "clip-on toenails" were broken from the incident.

She then called police as he was leaving the house, and he was arrested in the parking lot of a local Little Caesars.

He 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.

However, his recent legal troubles have raised concerns about his future with the team.

The Chiefs are known for their strict approach to player conduct, and it is unclear how they will handle Buggs' situation.

Buggs is scheduled to appear in court on the domestic violence and burglary charges later this month.

His legal team is expected to enter a not guilty plea, but the details of his defense have not yet been disclosed.

The outcome of Buggs' case will likely have a significant impact on his future in the NFL.

If convicted, he could face a lengthy suspension or even a ban from the league.
