COLUMBIA, S.C. – A South Carolina man was charged with having sex with a horse after the animal's owner caught the act on videotape, then staked out the stable and caught him at shotgun point, authorities said Wednesday.

But this wasn't the first time Rodell Vereen has been charged with buggery. He pleaded guilty last year to having sex with the same horse after owner Barbara Kenley found him in the same stable and was sentenced to probation and placed on the state's sex offender list.

Kenley said she noticed several weeks ago her 21-year-old horse Sugar was acting strange and getting infections again. She noticed things in the barn had been moved around — dirt piled up and bales of hay stacked near the horse's stall at her Lazy B Stables in Longs, about 20 miles northeast of Myrtle Beach.

"Police kept telling me it couldn't be the same guy," Kenley said Wednesday. "I couldn't believe that there were two guys going around doing this to the same horse."

She spent several nights at the stables, which are about four miles from her home, but didn't find anything. So she installed surveillance cameras, and when she reviewed the footage from July 19, she couldn't believe she was seeing the same man doing the same thing to her horse.

Kenley didn't call police because she was certain the man would come back to the stable, and she wanted to make sure he was arrested. So she staked out the barn and caught Vereen inside Monday night, chasing him to his truck and holding him with her shotgun until police came.

"He said he wasn't there to do anything, and I said, 'I know you were. I have you on tape.' And then he said he was sorry if he hurt me," Kenley said.

Vereen, 50, was first charged with trespassing, but police added a buggery charge after watching the surveillance tape. He faces up to five years if convicted. Vereen was already on probation after pleading guilty to buggery last year and was sentenced to three years of probation, ordered to stay away from the Lazy B Stables and declared a sex offender. He remains in jail, awaiting a hearing Monday to determine if he violated his probation.

Officials said they did not know if he has an attorney.

Vereen has had mental problems for several years, but seemed to get better after getting court-ordered treatment last year, said his brother, the Rev. James Vereen, who lives just down the street from his brother and the stables.

"He's done all right when he was on the medicine. I don't know if he is still taking it," said James Vereen, who added his brother has kept to himself a lot in the last few months.

Horry County police don't often investigate animal sex allegations, spokesman Sgt. Robert Kegler said. In fact, he said the last person charged with buggery in the county was Rodell Vereen in late 2007.

Kenley said she caught him then too. She stopped by her stable on Thanksgiving Day and found a man asleep in the hay by her horse, who had been locked in her stall, a mound of dirt and a stool behind her.

She said she thought about shooting Vereen both times, but didn't want to go to prison.

"Everyone around here has horses," Kenley said. "And they all said the same thing. You should have shot him."

I love that he's charged with "buggery".

thing is, they named him Sugar... no wonder he was raped...

JESUS THIS IS THE PERFECT THREAD TO STUMEPBNEE UPON AT LIKE< 3 IN THE MRONIG WHEN YOU"RE TRYING TO FALL BACK ASLPEE BEAUSE YOUR MIDN IS OGING ALL THE PhoronidaIG WASLLS AND STUF AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THANKS A SLOT YOU FREAK.

Okay, wo. Yeah, I did it again. Did some thinking and this is what I came up with.

FIrst, i'm at Korea and I have a flight to catch, so i'll make it brief.

On TV Tropes, look up "Stop having fun guys."

Yeah. Runecrypt is a forum, like most things. I'm just really lame and I like to yell because I can't sleep because stuff is going through my head. However, it's not difficult to ignore a faggat like me, and i'm not sure why you can't just go about doing that, but rather you have to take the time to explicitly state that I deserve to be ignored. I mean, do you want to take everything seriously? How about this. "What People Look Like", each picture must be accompanied with a reason as to why that's funny. This way, nobody has fun unless everybody gets to accurately decide whether the joke is funny to them as well. Furthermore, Runescape Rants and Suggestions must be filled with suggestions that have a forum post on the offical Runescape forums and a serious email written to JaGeX Staff, because if it's facetious or for fun, it's a waste of time.

Don't like what somebody says? Point it out. I like ponies. Will I say, "Oh, by the way, this is a dumb joke, it's practically impossible?" No, because the idea of a forum pony is awesome. It's just buzzkilling. "You're a forum, you can't have a pony. That's dumb, that's crazy. Forums can't have ponies." No. That's just "You're having way too much fun with that, and Runecrypt is srs bisniess, so only fun can be had from bisniess." Maybe some people aren't freaking serious and straightforward with their shit because it just dosen't have to be that way, and it's better unserious. That's why Runescape gets boring, because instead of doing what you want, you do what's best.

tl;dr. You missed the unwritten rule of life: Have fun or GTFO.

So yeah stuff, have fun, whatever, don't be a douche about words a 14 year old asian kid posts, whatever, I have an ocean to cross. Baii~
