Authorities are searching for the man accused of shooting Lady Gaga's dogwalker in Hollywood last year after he was mistakenly released from jail.
James Howard Jackson, 19, was released from jail Wednesday afternoon, according to booking records, which also show the charges against him were dismissed.
Details regarding how the charges against Jackson were dismissed and how exactly he was erroneously freed were not immediately available, but police said the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is now looking for him. Jackson is one of three men charged last year with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit robbery and second-degree robbery for the shooting of Lady Gaga's dog walker, Ryan Fischer, according to the L.A. County District Attorney's Office.Fischer was walking Lady Gaga's three dogs - named Asia, Koji and Gustav - in Hollywood last February just off the famed Sunset Boulevard when he was attacked.
Lady Gaga offered a $500,000 reward -"no questions asked" - to be reunited with the dogs. The singer had been in Rome at the time filming a movie. The dogs were returned two days later to an LAPD station by a woman who originally appeared to be"uninvolved and unassociated" with the crime, police initially said. The woman had reported that she'd found the dogs and responded to an email address associated with the reward, police said.The robbery would prompt headlines around the world - and motivate the owners of French bulldogs to be wary during walks.
