A Florida man was arrested Friday and charged with having sex with his dog, a Great Dane named Christie Brinkley, the Miami Herald has reported.

Armand M. Pacher, 64, of Aventura, was booked into a Miami-Dade jail on a charge of animal cruelty, the Herald reported. The charge is a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

Pacher's veterinarian in Gainesville, Fla., reported him to police, the Herald said. Another employee in the vet's office called Pacher, a retired insurance agent, to reschedule eye surgery for the 2 ½-year-old Great Dane.

During that phone call Pacher talked about sex with the dog, according to an arrest warrant. Pacher's attorney says his client was making a joke, and should not have been charged.
