A Siloam Springs couple concerned about their pet donkeys placed a camera on their property and captured images of a man suspected of having sex with one of the animals.
Everett Compton, 49, of Siloam Springs was arrested in connection with four counts of bestiality; four counts of criminal trespass and five counts of cruelty to a animal. He was being held Wednesday in the Benton County Jail with a $5,000 bond set.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Joshua Fritz, a Siloam Springs police officer, was called June 21 to 1850 E. Cheri Whitlock Drive for a report of sex crimes involving an animal.
The owners of the donkeys said someone had been harassing their pets for the last three years so they posted signs around their property warning people against trespassing and feeding the donkeys. The couple also put up a game camera, which recorded a person at 1:30 a.m. May 27 and June 4 placing a bag over a donkey's head and on both occasions the man is seen behind the donkey, according to the probable cause affidavit.
