R&B Singer Jaheim Arrested for Animal Cruelty, Accused of Starving 14 Dogs in His Home; One Found Dead

R&B singer known as Jaheim, is facing a wealth of
charges, including animal cruelty charge after police
found 6 dogs Monday in half water-filled animal crates
in the driveway of a Chamberlain Drive residence and 9 more dogs
inside the house in varying stages of emaciation, without
access to food and water, Somerset County Prosecutor Michael
Robertson said.


One mixed-breed Pitbull Terrier had to be euthanized, and the
other 14 dogs were examined and released to Long Hill Kennel
in the township, the prosecutor said.


Jaheim H. Hoagland, 44, was charged with third-degree animal
cruelty and failure to provide necessary care to an animal, a
disorderly persons offense. He was lodged in the Somerset County
Jail pending a Superior Court detention hearing.
