James Howard Jackson, who dognapped two of Lady Gaga’s dogs and shot her dogwalker, has been sentenced to 21 years behind bars.
Pulseng reported that he was one of the men involved in the robbery and shooting that took place last year near the famed Sunset Boulevard.
According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Jackson had admitted to being guilty of one count of attempted murder, while the dognapper was charged with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit robbery, and assault with a semi-automatic firearm and was thus sentenced to serve 21 years in jail.
Recall, that in February 2021, Jackson, Jaylin White and Lafayette Whaley nabbed Lady Gaga’s dogwalker, Ryan Fischer, with three dogs belonging to the musician.
The major culprit, Jackson, shot Fischer during the robbery, which caused two of the dogs to be taken. The third dog escaped and was later found by the police.
It was then gathered that the dogwalker was hospitalized and had to undergo surgery because his lungs were damaged during the unfortunate incident.
Authorities have established that Lady Gaga’s connection was a mere coincidence and that the targets were the French Bulldogs, a breed that is valued at thousands of dollars.
