A Tampa Bay man is in custody after his neighbors told police he was having sex with a dog in public.

Tampa Bay’s WTVT-TV reports Bernard Marsonek is charged with cruelty to animals, sex with animals and illegal gun possession.

Tuesday, Marsonek’s neighbors flagged down officers and told them he was having sex with a pit bull.

“Several of the witnesses stated that they yelled at the suspect to stop, but he ignored their commands,” a Tampa Bay PD representative said.

Officers searched the convicted felon’s home and discovered eight large pit bulls, a gun and ammunition. He was taken into custody and has since been released on $17,500 bond.

The investigation is ongoing.
