A Shreveport man faces a charge of animal cruelty, accused of performing a sex act with a neighbor's dog.
David Bruce Powell, 57, was booked into the Caddo Correctional Center on Friday afternoon on a misdemeanor charge of simple animal cruelty. He was released Saturday night on a $5,140 bond.
Witnesses told police they saw Powell being "unusually affectionate" with the dog and saw pictures on Powell's computer of him having sex with the animal.
Powell was arrested Friday at his apartment on the 900 block of Louisiana Avenue in downtown Shreveport. Officers also seized Powell's computer for examination at the Caddo Parish district attorney's office.
"We just assisted in the case because he had a warrant for animal cruelty," Shreveport police spokesman Jim Taliaferro said. "The computer may have possessed some pornography. We turned it all over to Caddo Parish."
The charge of animal cruelty carries a maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail.
