In Stable Condition, Or My Little Pony

Rodell Vereen has sex with horses. But wait, there's more...

He was charged with having sex with a horse after the animal's owner caught the act on videotape, then staked out the stable and caught him at shotgun point. Pathetically, this wasn't the first time Vereen has been charged with buggery. He pleaded guilty last year to having sex with the same horse after owner Barbara Kenley found him in the same stable and was sentenced to probation and placed on the state's sex offender list.

Kenley said she noticed several weeks ago her 21-year-old horse Sugar was acting strange and getting infections again. She noticed things in the barn had been moved around — dirt piled up and bales of hay stacked near the horse's stall. "Police kept telling me it couldn't be the same guy...I couldn't believe that there were two guys going around doing this to the same horse." What, you think nobody else finds sugar sweet?

She spent several nights at the stables about four miles from her home, but didn't find anything. So she installed surveillance cameras, and when she reviewed the footage from mid-July, she couldn't believe she was seeing the same man doing the same thing to her horse. Kenley didn't call police because she was certain the man would come back to the stable, and she wanted to make sure he was arrested. So she staked out the barn and caught Vereen inside, chasing him to his truck and holding him with her shotgun until police came. Apparently, Vereen didn't.

Vereen (50) was first charged with trespassing, but police added a buggery charge after watching the surveillance tape. He faces up to five years if convicted. Vereen was already on probation after pleading guilty to buggery last year and was sentenced to three years of probation, ordered to stay away from the Lazy B Stables and declared a sex offender. He remains in jail, awaiting a hearing Monday to determine if he violated his probation. Officials said they did not know if he has an attorney, because the 1-800-LAWYERS ads on the backs of buses don't really say much about screwing a horse.

Vereen has had mental problems for several years (clearly), but seemed to get better after getting court-ordered treatment last year, said his brother, the Rev. James Vereen, who lives just down the street from his brother and the stables. Wow, guess who mom and dad like more... "He's done all right when he was on the medicine. I don't know if he is still taking it," said brother James Vereen. C'mon man, you have to stick with your anti-horsefuck pills if you want them to work!
