A man is behind bars in Marion County after officials say he tortured and killed animals on video. He is also charged with unnatural intercourse.

On Thursday, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office received information regarding animal cruelty in reference to animals allegedly being tortured and killed while being videoed.

Deputies responded to an address in Foxworth to conduct a welfare check on the animals. A suspect identified as Mason McMullin, 24, of Foxworth, was transported to the Sheriff’s Office to be interviewed by investigators.

Once the interview was complete, McMullin was placed in custody and a search warrant was served at McMullin’s residence. On Friday, investigators received additional information which led to another search warrant at the residence. During the search, physical and electronic evidence was collected.

McMullin is charged with seven counts of aggravated animal cruelty and two counts of unnatural intercourse.

McMullin is being held at the Marion County Jail with a $500,000 cash only bond. This investigation is ongoing and additional charges are expected.
