Horse sexually assaulted
Texarkana, AR (US)

Incident Date: Saturday, Aug 29, 2009
County: Miller

Charges: Misdemeanor
Disposition: Alleged

Alleged: Harry Johnson

At a Tuesday [Sept 1, 2009] court appearance, a homeless Texarkana man told a Miller County district judge there was “no way” he would plead guilty to misdemeanor charges of bestiality and fleeing.

Harry Johnson, 57, was arrested shortly after noon Saturday in a field where a horse was penned in the 1600 block of East 24th Street in Texarkana, Ark.

The following is an account of allegations against Johnson, according to the arresting officer’s report:

I received a call in reference to Indecent Exposure in a field in the 3600 block of University Street. I advised dispatch that I was one block away. Dispatch advised that a passerby observed a black male having sex with a horse in a field. I got to the 3600 block of University Street and I observed a brown horse with a black male standing close behind it. I quickly pulled into the driveway of 3602 University Street and I saw two people standing beside their car and watching the man and the horse. I ran to where they were and one subject was standing with his mouth open and pointing toward the horse. I observed the black male making motions with his hips, that led me to believe that he was having sexual intercourse with the horse. I jumped a metal gate and entered the field. The sound of the metal gate, alerted the suspect and he backed away from the horse and began pulling at the front of his pants, leading me to believe that he had pulled the front of his pants up. The subject turned toward me and I saw that it was Harry Johnson. Harry, upon seeing me coming towards him, turned and began to jog away from me, in a southerly direction. I yelled for Harry to stop and he continued south and I yelled again and he stopped. I ordered Harry to the ground and he knelt down, at which time I ordered him to lay face down. I got Harry in handcuffs and placed him in the back of my patrol car. I transported Harry Johnson to the Jail where he was booked for Bestiality and Fleeing.
