R&B singer Jaheim is once again in trouble for his alleged treatment of dogs in his care.
As reported by WSB-TV, the Grammy-nominated vocalist was arrested on May 1. According to records by Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, the singer, whose full name is Jaheim Hoagland, was charged with six counts of animal cruelty. Court docs revealed he is accused of not providing enough water, sanitary conditions, and ventilation to his six dogs.
Documents said that the “Put That Woman First” singer owns the following dogs:
Tweet, Pit Bull Terrier
Tip, French Bulldog
Taka, Hound mix
Tink, Pit Bull Terrier
Timber, Pit Bull Terrier
Tanger, Pit Bull Terrier
Jaheim was released the following day from Fulton County Jail on bond.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that Jaheim has been arrested for animal cruelty.
In September 2021, he was arrested in New Jersey for third-degree animal cruelty and failure to provide necessary care to an animal after police found over a dozen dogs in deplorable conditions at his home in Hillsborough, NJ. One dog was ultimately euthanized due to its poor condition, leading to sweeping backlash and condemnation by the public.
