Jennifer Goldthwaite entered a residence in Holland Township intending to snatch the pooch, Hunterdon County Prosecutor Renée M. Robeson said.
In 2020, Goldthwaite and a man named Christopher Gordon, 20, of Flemington, were caught after a Pennsylvania dog breeder told police that people were trying to enter his property and possibly steal his French bulldog puppies for sale, as previously reported by Daily Voice.
Officers found Goldthwaite in a car outside the breeder's home in Earl, PA, while Gordon was walking over to it. The man who called in the incident identified Gordon and Goldthwaite as the same people who came by his house earlier that day to look at puppies, police said.
Inside the car, police saw a box of golden retriever puppies that they tracked to another local breeder, despite Goldthwaite insisting they were hers. The breeder was unaware her pups had been stolen, authorities said.
Gordon and Goldthwaite had inquired about those dogs earlier that day as well, according to police. The dogs were returned to their owner.
For her most recent arrest, Goldthwaite was charged with burglary and disorderly persons criminal mischief, Robeson said. She was lodged at the Warren County Jail and later released, Robeson said.
