A man was arrested after having s3x with a goldendoodle in front of children while taking the dog out for a walk before he ran to a nearby church, wreck a nativity and attempted to steal a car.
Chad Mason, 36, was arrested for charges of lewd exhibition, exposure of s3xual organs and criminal mischief to a place of worship after he was caught with the pup while out on a walk in the apartment complex located at 2600 block of McMullen Booth Road.
‘He was seen having sex with a dog… when he was confronted by someone at the apartment complex there, he ran from the scene,’ The Clearwater Police Department wrote in a statement.
Mason left the neighborhood and fled into the Northwood Presbyterian Chruch nearby, ruined the nativity set up and broke multiple potted plants.
He then left the church and went to a nearby street, destroyed a mailbox and tried to steal a car.
Mason apparently knew the goldendoodle’s owner and took the pup out on a walk before he performed the lewd act, according to Fox 13.
The 36-year-old didn’t go on his insane spree until he was approached by spectators while he had s3x with the dog. A child also saw Mason perform the act.
It is unclear why he then decided to head into the church.
‘He entered Northwood Presbyterian Church and knocked over a nativity display and broke several potted plants, before fleeing into an adjacent neighborhood. That’s where he destroyed a mailbox and attempted to steal a car,’ police wrote.
Police said that Mason caused about $400 in damages for damaging the nativity set and plants.
He was booked at the Pinellas County Jail.
A Florida law passed last year that made sexual acts involving animals a sex crime.
According to the statute, a violator can be charged with a first-degree misdemeanor and be sentenced to one year of jail time and subjected to a $1,000 fine.
It is unclear what Mason will be sentenced.
