American R&B singer, Jaheim Hoagland, best known for early 2000s hits like “Put That Woman First” and “Fabulous,” has been charged with six counts of animal cruelty
Channel 2 Action News reports the Grammy-nominated artist was arrested this month in Fulton County, Georgia, and charged with six counts of animal cruelty.
Court documents allege that Jaheim failed to provide adequate water, sanitary conditions, and proper ventilation for several dogs in his care. The dogs involved in the case are reportedly named Tweet, Tip, Taka, Tink, Timber, and Tanger.
Jaheim has faced legal trouble over animal welfare issues before this recent arrest.
In September 2021, authorities arrested him in Hillsborough, New Jersey, after discovering 15 dogs living in unsafe and unsanitary conditions at his residence. Police responded to a call about a dog in distress. They found several dogs confined in crates outside. The animals were exposed to harsh conditions. One dog was found in such poor health that it had to be euthanized. Inside the home, officers discovered nine more dogs, many of them malnourished and without food or water.
At that time, Jaheim faced charges including third-degree animal cruelty and several counts of failing to provide necessary care. The case drew widespread condemnation from the public. Animal rights groups also spoke out.
This latest arrest continues to raise questions about Jaheim’s treatment of animals and his legal battles surrounding these allegations.
