Atlantic City police arrest man who threw dog over fence
ATLANTIC CITY, NJ— The Atlantic City Police Department announced the arrest of 23-year-old Jahlil McNeal following a detailed investigation into several cases of animal cruelty.
The investigation, which began on July 15, was led by Officer Matthew Schmidt of the agency’s Humane Law Enforcement Division.
In the first incident, McNeal allegedly abandoned a dog after hours at the Humane Society of Atlantic County, causing injuries. The investigation revealed that the dog was thrown over a fence, landed on its side and was found with its fur missing.
Further investigation linked McNeal to a similar case in April in which he abandoned three dogs in the same location in a similar manner. Following these discoveries, McNeal was charged with multiple counts of animal cruelty and related offenses.
McNeal was arrested Friday during a traffic stop on Baltic Avenue by Officers Michael Regalbuto and Alex Torres. He is charged with four counts of animal cruelty and failure to provide proper care, two counts of theft of services and one count of witness tampering.
He is currently being held at the Atlantic County Justice Facility. The charges against McNeal are accusations and he is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
