Tia Torres’ husband, Aren Marcus Jackson, was incarcerated. He was arrested in 2007, shortly after he and Tia married, on multiple felony charges.
Tia Torres is well-known for her work with pit bulls and her reality TV show “Pitbulls and Parolees,” which showcases her efforts to rehabilitate both dogs and individuals who have been released from prison. Her husband, Aren Marcus Jackson, has had a troubled legal history. They met in the 1980s, but it wasn’t until 2006 that they married.
In 2007, Jackson was arrested on allegations of auto theft, among other charges. He was subsequently convicted and has been in and out of jail since then. His legal troubles have been a significant challenge for Tia and her family, but they have not deterred her from her mission with the Villalobos Rescue Center, the rescue operation at the heart of “Pitbulls and Parolees.” The show does not focus on Jackson’s legal issues, instead of centering on the stories of the dogs and the people working to give them a second chance. Tia has continued to run the rescue and advocate for pit bulls, all while managing the difficulties related to her husband’s incarceration.
