Bestiality suspect implicated in dog-napping

Mar 18, 2014, 5:44 AM | Updated: 6:23 am

A man already awaiting trial for allegedly running a bestiality farm has been implicated in the stealing of a neighbor’s dog.

You might remember 42-year-old Douglas Spink. A few years ago he was busted with 372 pounds of cocaine in Snohomish County, the largest bust in county history.

After getting out of prison, he was charged with running a dog bestiality farm near Sumas. He’s awaiting trial in that case.

The Herald reports Spink was arrested early Tuesday morning, accused of stealing a neighbor’s dog.

Police believe he might have taken the dog for use in animal sex trafficking.

His own pet dog was seized during the arrest. Spink was wearing his pet’s collar when officers arrived.
