A Millington man has been taken into custody and is facing accusations of engaging in and documenting sexual acts with a dog, with evidence of the alleged abuse appearing online. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) acted upon these allegations, which led to the arrest of Michael Dean Taylor, Jr., age 27, who is now charged with three counts of criminal offenses against animals.
The investigation began on June 12 after the 30th Judicial District Attorney General, Steve Mulroy, requested assistance. During the course of the investigation, the TBI appears to have uncovered enough incriminating material to charge Taylor, who was subsequently booked into the Shelby County Jail. According to WREG, the explicit photos and videos were openly shared on the internet, implicating Taylor in the abuse.
Taylor is currently being held without bond. According to Action News 5, the images and videos involved are highly inappropriate, showing the seriousness of the charges against Taylor.
