The man who shot and wounded pop star Lady Gaga’s dog walker and then stole her French bulldogs last year was sentenced to 21 years in prison on Monday after taking a plea deal.
James Howard Jackson admitted to the allegation of inflicting great bodily injury and pleaded no contest to one count of attempted murder, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said, according to a report by KSDK.
“The plea agreement holds Mr. Jackson accountable for perpetrating a coldhearted violent act and provides justice for our victim,” the office said in a statement.
Authorities said that Jackson and two other accomplices were involved in the violent robbery, and that the thieves did not know the dogs belonged to Lady Gaga. The motive for stealing the bulldogs was due to the value of the breed, which can cost thousands of dollars.
