When I say I’m a dog lover, this isn’t quite what I mean.

56 year old James Allen Darland is a retired delivery driver from Arizona. He’s also a zoophile that told an undercover cop all about his depraved antics.

We’ve all got our own kinky side. A fantasy. A fetish maybe. But Darland went way beyond that.

Not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, Darland posted an advert online – offering sex with animals at an isolated farm in return for sex with a dog. Police were straight onto it, and decided to catch him out. They set up a sting, which he walked right into, openly talking about all of the weird shit he’s into. He told police about how when he was on his route, he would have sex with dogs whose owners weren’t home.

He boasted about all the defenceless animals that he had sexually attacked on his route as a delivery driver, and how he used to pick up stray dogs and use them for sex.

What the fuck?

56YO James Allen Darland, retired delivery driver, told my deputies he would often have sex with customers’ dogs while delivering packages.

He happily told the undercover police that he had recently had sex with his own dog. At an arranged meeting, Darland explained in detail all of the acts he planned to commit on a dog that had been brought along.

Sheriff Arpaio, of the County Sheriff’s Office, said:

We clearly confirmed his intentions to commit this crime by statements, recorded phone calls and videos, e-mails and actions witnessed by my detective — leaving no doubt in his mind that Darland fully intended to carry out his perversion by committing the crime of bestiality.

Seriously disturbing. Almost as disturbing as what this guy did to his dog.
