An Alabama man has been arrested for having sex with his dog.
A 54-year old ex-carnival worker, Russell Joseph Meyers, was arrested after he accidentally dialled a friend's phone number while allegedly having sex with his German shepherd dog.
Police say the act of bestiality was caught on voice mail when no one answered the phone. 'It's obvious there is a condition there; it's just abnormal, no matter how you look at it,' Sheriff Shannon Oliver said.
The man, who lives in Phil Campbell, Alabama, if convicted, he will be required to register as a sex offender. 'It’s scary that it’s had to go on more than we know for them to make it a law,' said Oliver.
Meyers reportedly admitted to sexual relations with his dog on four occasions. He also reportedly owns a Chihuahua as well, but only engaged in sexual relations with his German shepherd, say police.
Franklin County District Attorney Joey Rushing said that he will file a motion to show allegations of 'sexual motivation' in court. Bestiality is now a Class A misdemeanor in Alabama.
