The
23-year-old, who has not been named, told police he had gone to the
university's barn after a night of heavy drinking because he was under pressure
with a big exam on the horizon.
His
plan - or so he claimed - was to beat up some cows.
But
unbeknown to him, his bizarre antics were overheard by another
classmate who immediately contacted police.
Officers
apparently found him on top of the sheep with his pants down in the
barn.
And
all the unidentified fifth-year computer engineering student, at Frenso State
University, California, US, could muster to say was: "Am I going to be
expelled for this?"
The student, who has been charged with
bestiality, initially told police he was wrestling with cattle, according to
KMPH Fox 26.
But
once told there were no cows in sight he referred to the sheep and said it was
"all the same."
He
then altered his story, explained about his exam and said he went to beat up
the defenceless animal to let off some steam, according to a police report.
Finally,
after being told by an officer that he was seen holding the sheep down while
wearing no pants, did he admit he was having sex with the poor animal -
but he did say it was his first time.
Vets
and animal experts are now keeping a close eye on sheep at the
farm.
The
incident has since become an internet sensation, with a parody Twitter account
being set up named "Fresno State Sheep".
