Ill. Man Accused of Sexually Abusing His Pet Peacock
Police who arrived at the home of a Illinois man to investigate claims of battery and attempted indecent solicitation of a child ended up tacking on an additional charge: Sexual abuse of a pet peacock.
Police in Roselle say the misdemeanor animal cruelty charge is related to David Beckmann's indecent solicitation of a child, but refused to elaborate.
Officers arrived at the 64-year-old's E. Devon Ave home to find Phyl the peacock dead in the garage.
Beckmann was arrested and booked into the DuPage County jail where he remained held in lieu of a $10,000 bond.
