R&B singer Jaheim was charged with six counts of animal cruelty and booked into a Georgia jail earlier this month, according to Fulton County Police Department records. The "Just in Case" singer from Tucker, Georgia, was arrested on May 1 and released the following day after posting a $35,000 bond, records show. Six of his dogs — named Tweet, Tip, Taka, Tink, Timber and Tanger — were found not have "adequate food, water, sanitary conditions and ventilation," the court documents stated. There were four American pit bull terriers, one French bulldog and one hound type mixed breed found. Three of the dogs were puppies, according to the court records. Jaheim, whose legal name is Jaheim Hoagland, is scheduled to appear in court on June 2. It is not clear if the 47-year-old singer has an attorney. Jaheim was previously charged with third-degree animal cruelty in 2021 after officials found multiple emaciated dogs at his New Jersey home, including one dog that was in such poor condition, it had to be euthanized. Officers found six dogs in crates in separate animal crates in Jaheim's driveway and an additional nine dogs in "in varying stages of emaciation," according to a September 2021 press release from the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office.
