A Jonesboro man arrested for allegedly having sex with his dog was released from jail Friday night on $6,600 bond.

Edwin Robles, 53, faces a felony bestiality charge, according to police. He was booked into the Clayton County jail in the early morning hours Friday, and was released around 9:30 p.m., according to jail records.

Robles is accused of performing the sexual act on his dog, named Chain, police said.

Police went to Robles’ home after receiving a tip from the Osceola County Sheriff’s Department in Florida, according to Lt. Rebecca Brown with Clayton police.

Robles previously lived in the Kissimmee, Fla., area.

It’s unclear what has happened to the dog, but Robles claims it is now dead, Brown said.
