Sheriff: Coker Man Admits To Sexually Abusing Dog
TEXT - A Coker man charged with animal cruelty admitted that he sexually abused a dog, Sheriff Ted Sexton said today. Three witnesses told deputies that they saw Samuel Earl Sims, 56, abusing the mixed-breed dog at a home on Hillview Lane around midnight Sunday. “These witnesses happened to observe this by accident,” Sexton said. “They were shocked and appalled.” Deputies had the same reaction. They were working Monday to upgrade the misdemeanor animal cruelty charge to a felony. “We're aggressively trying to seek more serious charges,” Sexton said. There is not an anti-bestiality law in Alabama. Deputies were not sure Monday whether the 40-pound dog, named “Lady”, has an owner. “It seems that she's a neighborhood dog. If someone claims her, she will be returned to the owner,” he said. Otherwise, she may be available for adoption. Veterinarian Dr. Jimmy Canant examined the dog and found no serious injuries, Sexton said. He said that the dog has a good disposition and got along with other dogs at the vet's office. The sheriff did not provide further details about the situation. He said that Sims admitted his guilt. “Our defendant did give a statement admitting to the allegation that he had sexual intercourse with the dog,” he said. “This is the first time in my career that I have heard of anyone doing this.”
Okay, here goes: Keep me the fuck out of Alabama. If they're screwing dogs down there it's time to secede from the union. Just kick 'em out. Next, how did three people happen to come upon this accidentally? Was ol' Sammy outside on the front lawn? Disgusting. And by the way, it wasn't even his dog? Disgusting times like, nine. Finally, no bestiality law in Alabama? Just haven't got around to that little piece of legislation yet, Bubbas? Unbelievable. Lock up the whole state (except of course those Alabamans that regularly read the Speakeasy - they're the exception not the norm).
