Man who videoed sex with dog arrested for bestiality

By Joe Johnson

A Gainesville man was arrested last week on charges of bestiality and distributing obscene material following an incident at his home earlier this year, according to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office.

Justin Nicholas Watson, 22, was arrested by Hall County deputies on Friday after investigators said he had recorded and shared a video of himself committing the act with a dog via Snapchat.

The incident reportedly occurred between May 21 and 22 at Watson’s home on Joe Chandler Road.

Investigators obtained a search warrant for Watson’s Snapchat account on August 14, which led to a search of his home and his subsequent arrest.

The dog involved in the incident was unharmed and was placed into the care of Hall County Animal Services.
