Jaheim, a well-known R&B singer, is facing some serious legal trouble in Fulton County, Georgia. He has recently been charged with six counts of animal cruelty due to allegations of mistreating his six dogs.
According to jail records, Jaheim, whose real name is Jaheim Hoagland, was arrested on May 1. The charges against him include failing to provide his dogs with adequate water, clean living conditions, and proper ventilation. Each of his six dogs, which include four pit bull terriers, a French bulldog, and a mixed-breed hound named Tweet, Tip, Taka, Tink, Timber, and Tanger, has a separate count of animal cruelty against them.
Jaheim, who rose to fame in the early 2000s with hits like "Put That Woman First," "Fabulous," and "Finding My Way Back," was released from Fulton County Jail the day after his arrest. This is not the first time the singer has been accused of animal cruelty. He was previously arrested in 2021 in New Jersey for the same charges. During that incident, authorities found more than a dozen dogs living in unsafe and unsanitary conditions at his home, resulting in one dog having to be euthanized.
The arrest was made after a neighbor reported a puppy in distress at Jaheim's home in Hillsborough, New Jersey. When officers arrived, they discovered six dogs confined to crates outside in the driveway. Sadly, one of the dogs was unresponsive and had to be put down. The other dogs were found in crates partially filled with water and dog feces.
Officers took immediate action and provided the dogs with water and care until animal control arrived. While waiting, they heard barking coming from inside the house and discovered nine more dogs that appeared to be malnourished and without access to food or water.
Jaheim was present at the time of the arrest and was taken into custody for an unrelated probation violation in Somerset County. He also had two active warrants from Hillsborough Township and Newark. As for his most recent animal cruelty charges, Jaheim is expected to appear in court on June 2.
In a similar incident, a Florida woman recently made headlines for allegedly drowning her dog to board a plane. It is a tragic reminder of the importance of treating animals with care and respect, and hopefully, justice will be served in both of these cases.
