A 50-year-old Chicago man has been arrested for having sex with a pit bull while visiting an animal care facility.
Gerardo Perez was charged by police with having sexual conduct with an animal, and burglary. Perez was arrested at his home Friday after he and a group took a tour of the Chicago Animal Care and Control Facility last week, according to the Chicago Tribune. Bail was set at $80,000
Prosecutors said that Perez was found in a cage with a white and grey pit bull by an employee after the suspect entered a restricted area of the facility.
He was allegedly on his hands and knees on the side of the dog, appearing to have just had sex with the animal, prosecutors said.
Perez then made "inculpatory statements" regarding the sexual conduct with the dog to other employees on the scene. The burglary charge stemmed from Perez allegedly being in a restricted part of the facility.
A 28-year-old man is charged with breaking into a suburban Chicago home and biting off another man's ear during an argument on Friday, according to the Cook County Sheriff’s Office.
Richard Vody, of Justice, Ill., forced his way into the victim’s home early Friday and, during a heated dispute, leaned in and bit off half of the 26-year-old’s right ear, according to police. Authorities said the victim’s girlfriend also lived in the home and all three knew each other.
Firefighters responded to the scene and took the victim to an area hospital for treatment. With the help of Chicago police canine units, the missing part of the man’s ear was found Saturday near the home.
Vody is charged with home invasion, aggravated battery and domestic battery, according to a press release from the Cook County Sheriff’s Office.
He is currently out on $250,000 bond, and is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesda
