A West Virginia man found wearing women's underwear and standing over a goat's carcass has told police he was high on bath salts.
Mark L. Thompson, 19, of Alum Creek, was arrested at his home Monday and has since been charged with cruelty to animals.
Police said witnesses had reported Mr Thompson standing near a neighbor's pygmy goat in a bedroom. He was wearing a bra and female underwear and the goat had at least one stab wound.
Officers said Mr Thompson claimed he had been high and �wasn't in his right mind�.
The 19-year-old's neighbor Lisa Powers said she bought the goat last week as a gift for her four-year-old grandson.
Ms Powers told the Charleston Gazette she had been told on Monday morning that her goat had been spotted inside Mr Thompson�s house.
'They told him that my goat was wandering around in Mark's house and he'd better come and get it,' she said. 'They called my nephew because he'd been there before.'
However, after entering Mr Thompson�s house and making their way into his bedroom, Ms Powers said the group found him 'standing there with his pants down. He had on women's clothing and the goat was dead and there was blood everywhere. It was just a scene.�
The 19-year-old is reported to have rushed out of the property and was later found by officers searching nearby woodland.05-05-11 06:13 AM
