Investigation into dog throwing

It was back in mid-July that the Humane Society of Atlantic County released the above video of a person throwing a dog over the fence at the Society.

Shortly thereafter, police initiated their investigation.

Humane Law Enforcement Officer, Matthew Schmidt investigated and determined the man in the video was Jahlil McNeal.

"Officer Schmidt also determined that McNeal was involved in a similar incident in April where he left three canines at the Humane Society in a similar fashion. "

Hopefully, this means an end to the case.
