Middle Township police say a dispatcher revived Daniel Tyce after finding the thread wrapped around the 27-year-old's neck.
Tyce is held on $25,000 bail in the Cape May County Jail on charges of trying to pass bad checks.
Tyce was indicted in 2009 on charges of animal cruelty and practicing veterinary medicine without a license. Authorities said he posed as a female veterinarian for two years and opened a phony animal shelter called South Jersey Small Animal Rescue.
