Man arrested for raping miniature horse

MOBILE, Alabama (WALA) - Sheriff's deputies say Eric Easley was arrested and charged with animal cruelty. A spokesperson with the sheriff's office says Easley raped a miniature horse.

Easley's wallet was found near the scene in Wilmer and that's how authorities were able to link him to the crime.

He is also charged with killing livestock, but according to the sheriff's department, the animal didn't die so that charge will more than likely be dropped.
