According to TMZ, Hogue allegedly placed a man in a headlock during a physical altercation at Nashville’s Shelby Dog Park in August 2025.
According to legal documents obtained by the outlet, prosecutors allege the conflict began after Hogue’s dog and another man’s pet became aggressive with each other.
The victim reportedly tried to separate the dogs, but Hogue allegedly grabbed him from behind, pushed him to the ground, and placed him in a headlock.
Hogue reportedly claimed he saw the man punch his dog multiple times with a closed fist, an accusation the alleged victim denied. The man said he grabbed Hogue’s dog by the collar to stop it from biting his own.
According to the documents, police officers observed multiple cuts on both the model and the alleged victim. The headlock was also reportedly witnessed by others at the scene.
The victim claimed Hogue restricted his breathing during the headlock and expressed a desire to press charges.
Following an arrest warrant, Hogue was taken into custody and charged with felony aggravated assault by strangulation. The model is charged with a felony in Tennessee and is scheduled for a court appearance on Wednesday, per TMZ.
