Detectives in St. Gabriel, Louisiana arrested a male juvenile April 20, 2006 morning, and charged him with crime against nature in connection with alleged acts of bestiality with a horse.

The juvenile, who is under age 17, is being held in the Iberville Parish Juvenile Detention Center. Authorities said they were trying to get psychiatric help for the juvenile suspect.

Detectives say they received a tip from someone who saw a local news report in which still frames from a surveillance tape were broadcast on the night of April 26. The tipster said they believed they recognized the young man shown on the tape, detectives said.

St. Gabriel Police Chief Kevin Ambeau says in all his 20 years in law enforcement, he�s never come across a case like the one. "We gotta catch this guy, he needs help," Ambeau said when he first released the tape to the media.

The owners of a local barn approached Chief Ambeau with surveillance video showing what appeared to be a light haired young man engaging in sexual activities with a small horse. "What I saw on the tape, I still can't believe," Ambeau says.

The police investigation began about two months ago after the owners of the barn reported finding sexual paraphernalia in a horse stall, according to Ambeau. The chief says that�s when the owner put up two cameras and captured images of a slender man walking between two stables.

"Always [going] to the same animal," Ambeau observed. "On the tape, he was [going] to the same animal performing sexual acts."

At Chief Ambeau�s request, brightened and stilled frames of video showing the man with the horse.
