MILLINGTON, TN – A disturbing case out of West Tennessee has led to the arrest of a 27-year-old Millington man after online videos involving a dog and explicit content surfaced. According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), special agents have arrested Michael Dean Taylor, Jr. (DOB 01/05/1998) in connection with the case.
On June 12, at the request of 30th Judicial District Attorney General Steve Mulroy, TBI agents launched an investigation into allegations involving Taylor. During the course of the investigation, agents determined that Taylor had sexually abused a dog and had posted images and videos of the abuse online, including content depicting bestiality, according to a TBI press release.
Following the investigation, agents arrested Taylor and charged him with three counts of Criminal Offenses Against Animals.
Taylor was booked into jail 5-minutes after 12 noon on Wednesday. He was transported to downtown Memphis, Tennessee where he was placed into custody of the Shelby County Jail (201 Poplar Ave, Memphis, TN). As of 11:50 PM on Wednesday night, he was still behind bars. Reports from the TBI indicate his bond has not been set at this time. That could change on Thursday morning. The investigation remains ongoing.
