A 37-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly having sex with several horses, police said.

Byron Christopher Jordan was apparently caught in the act Tuesday morning by the owner of the horses, who called Covington police. Jordan was charged with bestiality, a felony in Georgia, and with giving an officer a false name.

Lt. Wendell Wagstaff told the Covington News that Jordan was wearing only dirty pajama bottoms with the fly open. He also reportedly had a strong odor, according to the report.

Jordan, from Covington, was transported to the Newton County jail, where he is being held without bond. He was previously arrested on May 7 for DUI, according to jail records.

"It was just another arrest," Covington Police Chief Stacey Cotton told the AJC.

Cotton declined to release further details, stating that the public information officer does not work past 5 p.m.
