Suspect: Police believe Mark Thompson killed the goat and may have sexually assaulted while high on bath salts

A 19-year-old killed a pygmy goat and may have sexually assaulted it while high on bath salts and dressed in bra and panties.

Mark Thompson, from South Charleston, West Virginia, allegedly stole his neighbour's pet goat on Monday and was later found in his bedroom, half naked with the dead goat, which was covered in blood, beside him.

According to the Charleston Gazette, Lisa Powers bought the goat, which they named Bailey, on Friday as a gift to her four-year-old grandson.

She said: 'They told him that my goat was wandering around in Mark's house and he'd better come and get it. They called my nephew because he'd been there before.'

According to the criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court, police and two women entered Thompson's house looking for the goat and made their way to his bedroom door.

Ms Powers explained to the Charleston Gazette that he told them not to enter as he was naked.

She said: '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.'

When he was asked about the dead goat he allegedly ran out the door and headed for the woods. He was found hours later covered in blood and was arrested and charged with animal cruelty.

WHAT ARE BATH SALTS?

'Bath salts' are legal in many states even though it packs as much punch as cocaine or methamphetamines.

The potent drug can be bought in stores and online for as little as $15 to $20 and is marketed under innocuous-sounding names like Ivory Snow, Red Dove and Vanilla Sky.

Health bosses claim the drug can combine the nightmarish hallucinations of a bad LSD trip with the obsessive cravings of crack cocaine.

The powders often contain mephedrone and methylenedioxypyrovalerone, also known as MDPV.

As well as hallucinations, the chemical can cause paranoia, a rapid heart rate and suicidal thoughts.

According to the Gazette, when police entered the house they found fresh blood in several parts of the bedroom.

Inside they found the small grey and white goat wearing a pink collar lying dead on the floor, blood coming from its neck, according to the complaint.

There was a pornographic magazine photo laying a few feet from the goat, the complaint states.

Cpl Sean Snuffer, a detective with the Sheriff's Department said: 'We know the animal had at least one stab wound. They are also searching for signs of sexual trauma.'

Police took the dead animal to a veterinarian for a necropsy, he said, and are continuing their investigation.

Cpl Snuffer said the people in the community where Thompson lives told police they have been concerned about his mental health.

'I don't think they are very happy, the community over there,' he said. 'From what I understand they have been fearful of him before.'

At first I thought this had to be Yukon, but West Virginia. That has to be Mudboy.
