Man charged with having sex with pit bull at city pound

A 50-year-old man who had been on a tour at the city pound was charged with having sex with a pit bull, prosecutors said in court today.

Gerardo Perez, of the 2500 block of West 38th Street, was charged with having sexual conduct with an animal, a felony, and burglary, according to police.

Perez was arrested after he and a group took a tour of the Chicago Animal Care and Control Facility at 2741 S. Western Ave. on May 29, prosecutors said.

After the man broke off from the tour group, an employee of the facility spotted him going into a restricted area, prosecutors said. After the employee told the man to leave the restricted area, the man left but returned a short time later.

When the employee returned, he found the man inside the restricted area again and inside a cage with a white and grey pit bull, prosecutors said.
