A Georgia horse trainer was arrested on Thursday after he was seen on video grabbing a goat’s horns while force feeding the animal cocaine and whiskey, police said.
Sergio Palomares-Guzman, 28, was arrested and charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office said on Friday. Palomares-Guzman, who lived and worked at a Grayson ranch, was taken into custody after police received a tip about a disturbing video.
Palomares-Guzman was captured holding a goat’s horns while another pan shoved cocaine in the animal’s nostrils. The 28-year-old then forced open the goat’s mouth as the second man poured whiskey in its mouth. The men were then heard laughing.
A tipster reported the abuse after Palomares-Guzman shared the video. The horse trainer told investigators the incident took place on Jan. 2.
