LOS ANGELES — A 19-year-old who was arrested last year in connection with the shooting of Lady Gaga's dog walker was mistakenly released from jail this week, according to authorities.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department inmate records show James Howard Jackson was released from custody at 3:38 p.m. Wednesday after his case was dismissed.
Sheriff's officials and the L.A. County district attorney's office could not immediately confirm details, but KNBC-TV Channel 4 reported that Jackson's release was in error.
