Residents were forced to call the police after allegedly witnessing one of their neighbours having sexual intercourse with a pit bull terrier.
It was reported that Bernard Marsonek, from Tampa, Florida, ignored repeated requests to cease copulating with the canine in his back garden.
When cops arrived Mr Marsonek was arrested for aggravated animal cruelty, two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm as well as a single count of sexual activity involving animals.
Hillsborough County Animal Services are reported to have taken eight large pit bulls that were located at his property.
Mr Marsonek, who has a previous unrelated conviction, was released from jail yesterday on a $17,500 bond.
