UPDATED: SC Man Arrested For Having Sex With A Horse

***2:25 p.m. Update July 31***

From WBTW-TV:

A Longs man is in jail after Horry County police say he was caught on surveillance cameras having sex with a horse.

According to a police report Rodell Vereen 50, was arrested for the second time in two years for buggery and trespassing at Lazy J and B Stables on Coates Road.

He was put on a three year probation for committing the same act on Thanksgiving Day in 2007.

The owner told police she installed surveillance cameras in the barn after she felt Vereen was still having sex with her horse named Sugar.

“This was my sanctuary my peace of mind and I feel like I’ve been raped,“ said owner Barbara Kenley, “until I actually got him on film doing what he was doing did it strike home with me and that image is in my head.“

The report said on Monday Kenley went to the stable to check on the horses and saw an unknown car parked down from the property. She later saw Vereen behind the barn where four of her horses are kept.

Kenley told WBTW News 13 that she pointed a shot gun at Vereen because she was concerned about her safety and waited until authorities arrived and arrested him.

Kenley said she noticed several weeks ago that Sugar wasn’t coming out of the barn to “greet her” the way she used to. She said she even noticed a sign of infection on the horse. She went on to explain how Vereen came through the barn by removing a gate, shuffling the hay and tied a rope around the horse..

“I asked him what are you doing her? And he said he needed to use the bathroom and I said (to him) that’s crap,” explained Kenley.

The police report shows that Vereen admitted to “having relations with one of her horses earlier this week.“

“I want him incarcerated, I want him to stay away from my me, I want him to stay away from my horses,“ said Kenley

He is being held at J Reuben Long Detention Center on a $30,000 bond.

Sgt. Robert Kegler with Horry County Police told WBTW News 13 that they have the surveillance video as evidence.

Police: SC Man Charged With Having Sex With Horse
   
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina man has been arrested for having sex with a horse after police say the animal’s owner caught him on surveillance camera.

Police say this isn’t the first time 50-year-old Rodell Vereen has been charged with buggery - last year he pleaded guilty to having sex with the same horse and was placed on the state’s sex offender list.

Police arrested Vereen on Monday, when he returned to the stable 20 miles northeast of Myrtle Beach where owner Barbara Kenley says a camera caught him having sex with her horse earlier this month. This time she was waiting for him with a shotgun and says she thought about shooting him but didn’t want to go to prison.

Vereen is in jail. His brother says he has mental problems and may not have been taking his medicine.
