Washington State Man Busted Hiring Hooker For His Miniature Horse
We all love our animals, and would do anything for them right?
I'm not pleading the Fifth here, I'm pleading the Meatloaf.
A man from Longview was arrested by police in Longview, Washington was busted for attempting to hire a prostitute to... "service" his miniature horse.
48-year-old Jad K. Shipman was arrested on October 17th and released on $1,000 bail while he waited for his arraignment.
According to the probable cause statement, a vice police unit detective from the Bellevue Police Department called the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office on August 15th to let them know that a user, later identified as Shipman, was communicating with a person on a forum-based website where users can solicit prostitutes.
Shipman allegedly had offered a cool $440 to any person who would come to Longview to touch him and his miniature horse sexually.
According to the report, Shipman told the potential prostitute he was having a difficult time finding someone who would take part in being a willing participant because the “last two gals I asked said it was noticeably outside their comfort zone.”
On October 13th, a deputy arrived at Shipman's home and spotted two miniature horses on the property. A resident of the home told the deputy Shipman was a partial owner of the animals.
Four days later, Shipman sat down for an interview with deputies, who reportedly told them (after his Miranda Rights) that he did in fact offer a person cash for sexual purposes. He also admitted during the interview that he had prior sexual encounters with animals.
While out on bail, Shipman is not allowed to be around animals.
