Johnson sustained scratches on her wrist during the incident, according to documents acquired by TMZ.
Buggs, who allegedly fled the scene after Johnson threatened to call the police, was already facing two counts of second-degree animal cruelty after turning himself into police in late May, according to court records and Fox News.
Buggs previously played for the Steelers and Lions before joining the Chiefs during the 2024 offseason, where he was expected to compete for a roster spot.
