ALASKA -- A man faced a judge in Kotzebue Tuesday after he allegedly engaged in sexual conduct with a dog the day before.
Thomas D. Walker was arraigned on a charge of animal cruelty, a class A misdemeanor.
A man who said he knew Walker called the Kotzebue Emergency Dispatch Center Monday to report a man was allegedly sexually assaulting a dog, according to a complaint filed in Kotzebue District Court.
A Kotzebue police officer responded and saw a man pick a dog up and put it into a boat. When the officer announced his presence, the man dropped the dog and ran, according to court documents.
The dog’s owner came out and reportedly told the officer that “the man who allegedly assaulted the dog does that all of the time,” according to the officer's statement. Someone also told the police officer that neighbors had to bring their dog inside because of similar incidents.
The officer initially did not find the man who ran off, but found a previous booking picture of Walker and confirmed he was that same man.
A pre-trial conference is set for August 25.
