Man arrested for bestiality

Jonathan Ford, 32, has been arrested on suspicion of bestiality by the Pope County Sheriff's Department and Annette Williams, a worker at a shop near I Love Lucy Pet Rescue, said the news was particularly distressing because the area has a high number of stray dogs.

She told LocalMemphis.com: ''They have issues to begin with and to think that someone would show them kindness for a little bit and mistreat them again, that's more than I can think of.''
