Singer Jahiem charged with animal cruelty for the second time in 4 years
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.

Little Branch
Behind an unassuming door on an unassuming West Village corner is Little Branch–a pioneer in the speakeasy-style revival. Much more than a subterranean bar with a theme, Little Branch is as much a trendsetter as it is a shrine to the origins of modern American bar and cocktail cultures. Stepping down into Little Branch feels like being let in on a well-kept secret, though, as you might surmise from the crowd, that secret is out. Nevertheless, the space itself is comfy with standing room and cozy booths and a small stage that hosts live jazz. The vibe is sultry and, in that anemoiac way, timeless. Subtle lighting and understated touches evoke the 1920s without veering into kitsch or parody. The cocktails here are, in a word, masterful. In keeping with its decor, the menu is populated by classics, so order one and you'll receive what is likely the best version one could possibly have of that thing, anywhere. If you're not into what's on offer, give the expert bartenders some prompts and they'll happily whip something up bespoke. Strict house rules are posted to keep riffraffery to a minimum, so observe them. No men in hats, so don't bring your dudebro who can't part his head from his Stetson or backward white baseball cap. No name-dropping, so check your star-fucker friend who doesn't realize that name-dropping is insufferable. And any persuasion of a woo-girl unwilling/unable to regulate their volume is welcome to drink elsewhere.

Moment Nicola Sturgeon gets ‘midlife crisis' tattoo amid launch of new book
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the moment Nicola Sturgeon got her "midlife crisis" tattoo ahead of the launch of her new book. The former First Minister got her first ever ink aged 55 at a store in Glasgow city centre. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Nicola Sturgeon got her first tattoo aged 55 Credit: Instagram/@kurtmcgonigle 5 A video of her being inked was posted online Credit: Instagram/@kurtmcgonigle 5 She revealed the tattoo in an ITV interview ahead of her book hitting shelves Credit: PA Ms Sturgeon got the 'infinity arrow' body art at Paradise Tattoo on Hope Street. A video of her getting inked was shared by the artist Kurt McGonigle, who said it was an "honour to tattoo the former First Minister." The ex-SNP chief opened up about her new tattoo in an ITV News interview ahead of the release of her memoir Frankly - which hit the shelves early on Monday. In the sit-down chat with Julie Etchingham, Ms Sturgeon rolled up her sleeve and showed off her new arm decal, saying: "Midlife crisis alert." She even revealed the meaning behind her new ink. Ms Sturgeon said: "It's kind of an infinity symbol with an arrow. "What it signifies to me is strength, resilience and continuing to move forward even when it feels impossible." The TV interview and her book are packed full of a number of bombshell revelations. She revealed she still misses her former mentor turned political enemy Alex Salmond - who died last year aged 69 - and added she was hit with a wave of grief when she heard about his death. Ms Sturgeon said: "Even today I still miss him in some way, the person that I used to know and the relationship we used to have." Five of the biggest BOMBSHELL moments from Nicola Sturgeon's new memoir In her book, she even claimed the late Queen Elizabeth II asked for GOSSIP about the sexual misconduct allegations against Mr Salmond in 2018 during an audience at Balmoral Castle. One of the most shocking moments from the ITV interview, she admitted making mistakes in her handling of the SNP's highly controversial gender self-ID laws. She even insisted her backing of trans rights was still correct - but admitted she should have 'taken a step back'. The telly chat even saw the ex-FM admitting notorious trans rapist Isla Bryson should "probably" not be able to choose their own gender and conceded the beast is a "biological male". 5 Nicola Sturgeon's highly anticipated new book 'Frankly' hit the shelves this week Credit: PA 5 She had a sit down chat with ITV News which contained a number of bombshell claims Credit: ITV More deeply personal admissions are in the book, including about her own sexuality. She addresses head-on speculation surrounding her sexuality and a previous rumour that she had a secret relationship with a French diplomat. Ms Sturgeon said that her sexuality is not binary. She also told her harrowing account of losing her unborn baby in a miscarriage, saying she would 'mourn her for the rest of my life'. In the tell-all memoir, she admitted the day she was arrested over Operation Branchform - the long-running probe into SNP finances - was the "worst day of her life". She said she struggled to cope with the 'mental torture' of not being cleared by police after a seven hour interrogation. The former leader even revealed she still counts shamed ex-Nats minister Derek Mackay as a 'friend' despite him being outed for pestering a schoolboy with creepy text messages. When our story went live, the ex-Nats chief said there was no doubt Mr Mackay had to resign and left her feeling "sick". She wrote: 'I was back at Bute House when the Sun story went online, late that evening. I felt sick as I read it."

No evidence Aimee Betro was paid for her role in assassination plot
Standing at just 5ft 5ins, Betro's appearance was so unassuming that a taxi driver unwittingly ferried her away from the scene of a shooting, despite hearing three gunshots shortly after she got out of his cab and walked into a nearby cul-de-sac. During her evidence to jurors, the 45-year-old mostly stuck with short answers, and passed herself off as someone who had obeyed instructions from her lover to buy a 'burner' phone without having any knowledge of a plot to kill. Addressing the court in the same accent and monotone pattern of speech as she used in two calls to taxi firms which police recovered as evidence, Betro claimed she was of medium build and the would-be assassin caught on CCTV was of slim appearance. Almost laughably, she also claimed that 'another American woman', who had a similar voice and footwear, knew Nazir, and had booked taxis to her hotel using a phone she had bought, was the female wearing a niqab whose gun jammed in Measham Grove, Yardley, Birmingham, on September 7 2019. Jurors at Birmingham Crown Court deliberated for almost 21 hours over five days before finding Betro guilty of conspiracy to murder, possessing a self-loading pistol and a charge of fraudulently evading the prohibition on importing ammunition. The childhood development and graphic design graduate, who denied all the charges, flew into Britain to take part in a plot orchestrated by co-conspirators Mohammed Nabil Nazir, 31, and Mohammed Aslam, 56, to shoot dead Aslat Mahumad following an altercation in a shop. Betro, from West Allis in Wisconsin, was caught on CCTV at the scene of a failed attempt to shoot Mr Aslam's son, Sikander Ali, and during a return visit to the same street at which she fired three aimed shots through two front windows. Evidence also showed that Betro contacted Mr Mahumad on September 6 after he advertised a car for sale, but he declined to meet her and offered to have someone else show her the vehicle. Father and son Aslam and Nazir, both from Derby, were jailed last year for their part in the failed assassination plot. Recounting how she had feelings for and was in love with Nazir, who she said she had slept with at an Airbnb in London during one of two previous trips to the UK, Betro claimed she had flown into Manchester from Atlanta on August 22 2019 to celebrate her birthday. But she instead found time to hire a car to take part in a £12,000 'crash-for-cash' scam involving Nazir before the attempted murder of Mr Ali. After trying to kill Mr Ali on September 7, Betro returned to the US on September 9, with Nazir following on a Manchester-Atlanta-Chicago flight on September 13, giving immigration officials Betro's Wisconsin address as his point of contact. 'He was going to stay at hotels but he used my address,' Betro told her trial. 'I was excited about seeing him.' According to Betro's account, the pair rented a car and drove to Seattle 'just for a road trip' with stops at an amusement park, Area 51 in Nevada and in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Betro told jurors she did not even know there had been a shooting in Measham Grove and Nazir had not mentioned it during his time in the States, which ended in mid-October when he flew with Norwegian Air back to Gatwick and was arrested. Detective Chief Inspector Alastair Orencas, of West Midlands Police, commenting on the inquiry, said the vehicle-related insurance scam showed 'the pure depth of criminality and lack of respect for the normal rules of society' of Betro and her co-conspirators. Asked if he believed Betro was paid or had acted out of loyalty to her partner Nazir, the officer said: 'We've not seen evidence of payments. 'They met on a dating site, whether this is a partner doing something for another partner, again, there's no clear evidence of that. I see it as a criminal association and a murderous plot.' There was no evidence that Betro had any previous experience with firearms from either the US or Armenian authorities, although she did hit the windows upstairs and downstairs during her return to Measham Grove. The weapon she used is likely to have been a semi-automatic 9mm pistol, which experts say are not particularly difficult to use. Mr Orencas said of Betro: 'I would describe her as a criminal with murderous intent, with an absolute disregard for the safety of people. 'She clearly attempted to murder on the sixth. That didn't work out because of the lack of the meeting. She tried to do it again on the seventh. 'She goaded (the intended victim through text messages) after that. She then went and discharged (the pistol) into a house where people may well have been hit while sleeping. 'She's a criminal, with murderous intent, as are the other people that have been convicted in this.'
