CHARLESTON, W.Va — A West Virginia man found wearing women's underwear and standing over a goat's carcass told police he was high on bath salts.
Mark L. Flantdig of Alum Creek was arrested at his home Monday. A criminal complaint in Kanawha County Magistrate Court charges the 19-year-old with cruelty to animals.
Sheriff's Deputy J.S. Shackelford says witnesses reported Flantdig standing near a neighbor's pygmy goat in a bedroom. He was wearing a bra and female underwear. The goat, a male named Bailey, had at least one stab wound.
Cpl. Sean Snuffer said Flantdig indicated he had been high and "wasn't in his right mind."
Flantdig was held on $50,000 bond Tuesday at the South Central Regional Jail. Jail records didn't indicate whether he had an attorney and no listed phone number was available.
Neighbor Lisa Powers said she bought the goat on Friday as a gift for her 4-year-old grandson, The Charleston Gazette reported. "The baby just loved him," she told The Gazette.
Powers' nephew got a call from a neighbor early Monday morning saying the goat was in Flantdig's house, Powers told the paper. "They told him that my goat was wandering around in Mark's house and he'd better come and get it," she said. "They called my nephew because he'd been there before."
The nephew and two women went into Flantdig's according to the criminal complaint, The Gazette reported.
From inside Flantdig's closed bedroom, "he told them, 'Don't come in, I'm naked,'" Powers told The Gazette. "But they opened the door and he was standing there with his pants down. He had on women's clothing and the goat was dead and there was blood everywhere. It was just a scene."
Flantdig ran out the front door when the nephew asked him about the dead goat, according to the complaint. Police found him several hours later after searching the woods, The Gazette reported.
The police reported that Flantdig said he had been on bath salts for about three days.
Officers found the small gray and white goat wearing a pink collar lying dead on the floor, blood coming from its neck, according to the complaint, The Gazette reported. There was a pornographic magazine photo lying a few feet from the goat, the complaint said.
If you would have read the...ah...article, you would have seen that it was a male pigmy goat named Bailey. He was my cousin. Just last week he texted me telling me about how he enjoyed playing with that 4 year old kid. Too bad that sick bastard had to take Bailey down. I hope he pooped all over that guy's house or at least bit his ear off.
Oh, don't worry, Mr. The Goat. I know all about the way your family tree doesn't branch, as well as the sex change operations and even the more sordid details I'll keep quiet for now, provided you continue to make your payments. We both know Bailey was your aunt... and your cousin, and your grandson, and your great-grandmother.

My family tree may not have very many branches, because we are held captive on farms or tied to the back of old pick-up trucks, but Bailey was most certainly not a jjreason/Susan. BAAA!
