Jaheim Arrested on Animal Cruelty Charges, Accused of Starving 15 Dogs

R&B singer Jaheim was arrested on animal cruelty charges after authorities say 15 dogs were found living in deplorable conditions at his New Jersey home.

Cops showed up at the singer’s home Monday to investigate a report of a “puppy in distress” and found six dogs in the driveway, one of which was discovered unresponsive in a water-filled crate and later had to be euthanized.

Nine other dogs were found inside the home “in varying stages of emaciation” and with no access to food nor water. Prosecutors said some of the dogs were also found in crates partially filled with water and dog feces.

Two of the dogs were taken to an emergency vet hospital for treatment. According to authorities, all 14 surviving dogs were later taken to Long Hill Kennel in Hillsborough.
