A Kentucky man was arrested after he stole his neighbors’ four dogs so he could make a fur coat.
According to the Daily Mail, Jonathan Watkins,38, was arrested after a neighbor contacted 911 and told police that he stopped by to ask for a cigarette while covered in blood. When he asked Watkins about his appearance, Watkins said: ‘I’ve been skinning dogs’. At first, he didn’t believe Watkins due to his history of mental health issues until he noticed his two dogs were missing. Later on, the man saw several animal skins and dog bodies on Watkin’s front porch railing.
