Deputy fire chief faces indecency charge
The Arizona Republic
Mar. 7, 2006



Leroy Donald Johnson was caught this weekend in a barn with his pants down, literally, according to a sheriff's office report.

"You caught me ... I tried to (expletive) your sheep," Johnson told his neighbor, according to the report.

But the Mesa Fire Department deputy fire chief changed his story when a sheriff's deputy arrived on his doorstep minutes later, denying anything happened.

Johnson, 52, was jailed on suspicion of disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing after the neighbor told investigators he found Johnson, unzipped and holding a sheep down on its side.

That's the sanitized version. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office report released Monday night is a little more graphic.

Johnson's neighbor told sheriff's deputies he was called home Saturday afternoon when his 13-year-old daughter saw Johnson drag one of their sheep into a barn.

The teenager said Johnson had first knocked on the front and back door of the home in the 1200 block of East Catclaw Street, in a county island in Gilbert, before grabbing the small gray lamb, records showed.

One of the deputies noted that Johnson had bloodshot eyes and smelled of alcohol, and neighbors who confronted him said he admitted everything.

According to the deputy's report, "(The owner) took me into the back yard and showed me where he and (neighbor) pulled up. He took me through the corral gate and I saw the victim for the first time. She was a small gray lamb about three feet tall and four feet long."

The men then told the deputy they walked over to the small barn, opened the door and "saw Leroy holding the lamb down on its side in the hay with his pants down trying to have sex with it. That's when he made the statement about (expletive) the lamb."

The men said Johnson stood up and zipped up his pants.

"The sheep ran out of the barn at that point," the report says.

Johnson apologized, according to the report, and said he'd had "too much to drink."

The Mesa Fire Department placed Johnson, on paid leave Monday pending an internal investigation. Johnson, deputy chief of technical services, has been with the Mesa Fire Department for nearly 26 years.

Assistant Fire Chief Mary Cameli said Johnson has been an "exemplary" employee with a spotless personnel record.

"We were all very surprised by this," Cameli added.

Johnson did not return a call for comment Monday.

When confronted by a deputy at his home, Johnson initially denied the incident, saying he had been at his neighbor's house to talk about annexation.

Johnson said he went into the barn after hearing noises. The deputy said to him, "I believe something more than that happened," and offered help.

Johnson responded, "I probably do need some help, but I don't know if this is the time or place for it," according to the report.

When asked how the animal got into the barn, Johnson said, "I'm not going there," then asked if he was going to be arrested and demanded to know his legal options.

He continued to deny that anything happened in the barn and was arrested.

"I think it's disgusting," Sheriff Joe Arpaio said. "I think of Ghandi who said you judge the morality of a country by the way they treat their animals. . . . I do look at (bestiality) as some type of animal cruelty."

Sick.

"You caught me ... I tried to (expletive) your sheep,"

Sigline material right there.

Good lord.

brings new meanings to 'silence of the lambs'...

Funny, he doesn't look like a frat boy...

He should have to MARRY the sheep

Sounds very "Brokeback" to me.

Can someone explain to me what the obession is with sheep?  They're very foul smelling.  Their wool is rough yet you hear time and time again that they're being.....abused.

PAGING THE RED GOAT!!! PAGING THE RED GOAT!!! PAGING THE RED GOAT!!! PAGING THE RED GOAT!!! PAGING THE RED GOAT!!! PAGING THE RED GOAT!!!

This is a real newspaper clipping. I don't know how old it is, a co-worker had it in his desk for years.

They had it in a fucking motel room and threw it out the window.

The sheep led him on.

Guy's originally from Knoxville, I'll bet...

SG

Johnson apologized, according to the report, and said he'd had "too much to drink."

Yeah, i think most of us have at one time drank a little too much, but this is fucking disgusting, wtf?

Talk about drunk bootie calls.

That lamb was asking for it, running around naked like that!

It's because you don't have to wrap them in duct tape to keep them from exploding.

Because "it's" about the right size, or so I've been told.........

***Arizona***
Where men are men
and sheep are lying little whores

you guys are horrible!

Quoted: you guys are horrible!

You just figured that out?

I read somewhere that a surprising number (to me anyway) of men who grew up on farms have had sex with animals.

Quoted: ***Arizona*** Where men are men and sheep are lying little whores

I always heard it as:

"Where men are men, women are women, and sheep are afraid."

Now we know why The Red Goat is red!

men are men, women are scarce, and the sheep are nervous.

I honestly don't know and don't want to know.  All I can say is I grew up on a farm but the men were kept busy in the fields, not ....clears throat....tending the sheep!

Like you guys don't have one of these.....

"I'm sorry...is that wrong?  I shouldn't have done that?  You know, I'm gonna have to plead ignorance about that being wrong and all...."

I could make a comment about FD-guys predilections...but I won't!

C'mon! Give the guy a break!
It was a EWE!
Now if was a ram,why,that'd be GHEY!

I think this may have been quite a different story if that kid had opened the door!

Was the lamb younger than 18?  What if he had just killed it and eaten it instead of raping it, would that be better?  Is there a way to see if the lamb consented?  You never know, she may have been into it.

Either way, homeboy has a problem.  I dunno.  I'm in a weird mood tonight, please disregard every last thing I post.  Please.

North American Man-Lamb Love Association.  NAMLLA.

I bet that guy eats some lead for dinner...

THAT has to be embarassing...

I wonder if this qualifies him for the sex offender registry?

Should be considered dangerous near farms...

This guy is gonna have to off himself at some point.  Some things are worse than death.  Getting busted for lamb-rape is just too much.  I would kill myself in shame.

What would a Samurai do that got busted raping a lamb?  Do they even get the option of HaraKiri or whatever it's called?  Could you imagine what it would be like to be that guy's daughter?  The mind boggles.

How could you not just bust out laughing in this guy's face every time you saw him?  

"Dirty deeds, done with sheep"

We've all been having a lot of fun with this, but you have a good point. If that 13 year old girl had opened the door, this could have turned out very badly.

Hmmm...I wonder why, after learning from his daughter that a man dragged one of his sheep out to the barn, the land owner assumed it was his friend Roger.

The victim owner of the lamb was named Alan Goats.
