Model Faces Serious Assault Charge After Canine Clash
High-profile fashion model Christian Hogue has been formally charged with aggravated assault by strangulation following a reported physical confrontation at a dog park in the United States. The incident, which allegedly occurred in August 2025 at the Shelby Dog Park in Nashville, Tennessee, involved an altercation between Hogue and another man after their dogs became aggressive.
Details of the Alleged Altercation
According to legal documents obtained by media outlets, the conflict began when the dogs belonging to Hogue and the other individual started behaving aggressively towards one another. Prosecutors allege that the alleged victim attempted to separate the animals. It is then claimed that Hogue grabbed the man from behind, threw him to the ground, and placed him in a headlock.
In a statement reportedly given by Hogue, the model claimed he saw the other man punch his dog multiple times, a claim which the alleged victim has strongly denied. The case has drawn further attention due to Hogue's mugshot, which has been compared to the famous 'Hot Felon' photo, circulating in media reports.
Life Amid Legal Proceedings
Despite the serious nature of the charge, Hogue appears to be maintaining aspects of his normal life. Representatives for the model did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Daily Mail. However, Hogue remained active on his Instagram account, even posting a video describing his 'perfect day' with his dog amidst the ongoing legal situation.
In the video, he said, 'Depends on where we are but if we're in Tennessee, it's me, my dog. We're either on a paddle board or out in the lake fishing or we're at a waterfall, sitting back, enjoying the sun together. It's pretty easy.' The case continues to develop as legal proceedings move forward.
