Gwinnett man arrested for mistreating goat

A goat needs a new home and a Gwinnett county man faces animal cruelty charges.
 
Gwinnett County deputies say someone sent a video of 28 year old Sergio Palomares-Guzman and 2 other unidentified males forcing cocaine into the goat's nostrils and whiskey into its mouth.

Authorities say the suspect lived and worked as a horse trainer on the Grayson ranch where the incident took place.  They believe the other two men may be from North Carolina.
 
Officials took the goat to a veterinarian where the animal received treatment and a clean bill of health.
 
The owner of the ranch was not aware of the incident.

Palomares-Guzman relinquished ownership of the goat and remains in the Gwinnett County jail under an immigration detainer.  He was arrested after police executed search warrants at the ranch last Thursday.

If you're interested in adopting the goat, please contact the Gwinnett County Animal Shelter.
