Jonathan Edward Medley, 39, was taken into custody late on Friday night and charged with Misdemeanor Animal Cruelty, after he allegedly had sex with his wife’s dog. This charge was later upgraded to Bestiality.
"He was mad at his wife because she paid more attention to the dog than him so he had sex with the dog," Police Captain Ricky Morgan told a local newspaper.
According to the same policeman, his wife thought her husband was having an affair - and so hid a recording device in the house in order to catch him out. What she discovered was that he was in fact molesting her beloved dog.
Local news outlet WTVY reported that the animal, named Buster, suffered internal injuries in the assault.
Medley will appear in court on June 22nd to enter his plea - and if he pleads not guilty he will stand trial two weeks later.
If convicted, the 39-year-old could face up to a year in prison.
The two-year-old dog ‘was traumatised but is doing remarkably better', according to Police Captain Ricky Morgan.
