Model Christian Hogue has been hit with felony charges after he allegedly strangled a man following a dog park fight.

The Daily Mail and TMZ have reported that Hogue has been accused of putting a man in a headlock during a fight at the Shelby Dog Park in Nashville, Tennessee, in August 2025. He has since been charged with aggravated assault by strangulation.

According to his personal website, Christian Hogue has worked with several magazines all over the world as a model. Raised in Ohio, began his career at the age of 15.

He famously worked with Giampaolo Sgura for Vogue Italia, and some the most well-known campaigns he has worked for include the Vera Wang Black Campaign, Guess, Diesel Underwear/Jeans campaign, Versace Dylan Blue perfume campaign, among others.

He is also the face of Davidoff Cool Water Intense campaign in 2019 and the cover of Mens Health Magazine in Germany, and has worked for several magazines like Cosmopolitan US, Fantastics, MMScene, GQ Style Russia, Bello, and Victor Magazine.


Everything we know about Christian Hogue's legal troubles:

The Daily Mail has reported that in the alleged August 2025 incident, the conflict first broke out when Christian Hogue's dog and the alleged victim's dog got aggressive with one another. The latter then tried to split things up, only for the model to allegedly grab him from behind, shove him to the floor, and place him in a headlock.

Hogue allegedly claimed to have seen the man punch his dog several times, a claim the latter has refuted. Instead, the man claims to have grabbed Christian Hogue's dog by the collar in an attempt to stop it from attacking his own dog.

Both men reportedly sustained several cuts, as noted by authorities in their reports. Several witnesses also reportedly saw the headlock, which allegedly cut off the man's breathing.

Christian Hogue has since been arrested and detained after an arrest warrant was issued. He is now scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, January 12. He shared a video of himself and his dog just this Monday, where he described what would be a "perfect day" for him.

'Depends on where we are but if we're in Tennessee, it's me, my dog,' he said. '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.'
