His 2021 Arrest
According to Essence Jaheim was arrested for the same thing back in 2021 on charges associated with the starvation and neglect of 15 dogs, resulting in the death of one dog at the time.
Hoagland was charged with third-degree animal cruelty and failure to provide necessary care to an animal after over a dozen animals were found in and around his home in varying degrees of emaciation.
According to the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office in New Jersey, the Hillsborough Township Police received a report of a “puppy in distress” on Monday.
Upon arriving at Hoagland’s residence to investigate, officers report having found six dogs being kept in dirty, partially flooded animal crates in the home’s driveway.
“One of the dogs located was initially unresponsive in a water-filled crate and subsequently had to be euthanized,” the Prosecutor reported in a public statement via Facebook.
Hoagland was placed under arrest outside of his home on an unrelated probation violation warrant.
While police provided water to the dogs outside, awaiting the arrival of animal control, they heard the barking of additional dogs coming from inside the residence.
For today’s arrest Channel 2 Action News is working to learn more about the charges.
