Joshua Werbicki, 22, who used to deliver pizzas for Papa John’s, was arrested Friday at work and charged with animal cruelty after Palm Bay cops viewed shocking footage of him sexually abusing the German shepherd, Florida Today reported, citing police reports.
The roommate reportedly grew suspicious and installed a hidden camera after she noticed the family pet was limping and had grown fearful of people in the house.
The camera recorded the alleged bestiality, according to the report.
Werbicki faces a felony charge of animal cruelty and a misdemeanor of sex with an animal. He could also be banned from owning or living with an animal, Brevard County Animal Services Sgt. Michael Healy told Florida Today.
Werbicki was held in Brevard County Jail on $2,500 bond, WESH reported.
The canine victim remains in the roommate’s custody, Florida Today reported.
