MARICOPA COUNTY, Ariz. — A 21-year-old man was arrested this week after a security camera allegedly recorded him committing sexual acts on a horse.

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said Kenneth Sellner was booked into jail for charges of bestiality after he allegedly admitted to inappropriately touching a horse while cleaning the animal's stall.

The suspect's family told MCSO that Sellner had been asked to clean out the horse stalls when they were away on vacation. While monitoring surveillance cameras, a family member allegedly witnessed Kellner perform sex acts on a horse.

The family member returned home, told Sellner to leave the property and contacted MCSO. 

After locating the suspect near 7th Street and Beardsley Road, he allegedly admitted to touching the horse because "one thing led to another."
