The 68-year-old Kahaluu man indicted last week on a second set of animal cruelty charges was arrested Monday night over abuse of a family member.

James Montgomery was arrested at 7:30 p.m. at his Mahakea Road home on suspicion of misdemeanor abuse.

Montgomery posted bail of $1,000. His case will be heard July 25 by a Family Court judge. Details of the case were not released by the police.

Montgomery, a former Kaiser High School teacher, is slated to appear in Circuit Court the week of Sept. 12 to answer to one count each of first- and second-degree animal cruelty. He posted bail of $25,000.

Montgomery was indicted by an Oahu grand jury on animal cruelty charges July 5 after police and the Hawaiian Humane Society confiscated 33 dogs from his Kahaluu home in May. Two puppies were found in a trash can — one dead and the other emaciated.

During the May 21 raid, 10 dogs were found housed in a windowless bunker, about 15 were in a structure near the home and a half-dozen newborn puppies were caged elsewhere in the house.

Eleven years ago Montgomery was convicted of 55 counts of animal cruelty and fined $5,000. Sixty-four dogs were seized but were later returned to Montgomery under a plea agreement.

Under a 2006 plea agreement, Montgomery was granted a deferred acceptance of a guilty plea, which allowed the conviction to be removed from his record. The confiscated animals were returned to him after the case ended, and he was allowed to sell them.
