Reality Star, Girlfriend Used Dogs for Sex: Police

Tony McAllister, previously featured on the A&E reality show 'Neighbors with Benefits,' was arrested and charged with felony pandering obscene material involving children and misdemeanor sexual conduct with animals. This marks a significant legal issue for a public figure.

Anget Levy states, 'Tony McAllister is in jail in Ohio. He faces two charges: felony pandering obscene material involving children and a misdemeanor, sexual conduct with animals.'

Erica Grove, McAllister's girlfriend, was also detained and charged with misdemeanor sexual conduct with an animal. She has pleaded not guilty, and her trial date is pending.

Anget Levy mentions, 'Mallister's girlfriend is also being detained, she's considered the lesser of the two offenders...' and later, 'Erica Grove has pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor sexual conduct with an animal charge that she faces.'

Law enforcement conducted a 6 AM raid on the couple's home, involving deputies, detectives, and a SWAT team. The early morning timing was explained as a standard aggressive approach to ensure safety and secure all occupants, despite causing distress to the visiting grandparents.

A deputy explains the 6 AM approach: 'a lot of times when we do these, this is where officers get hurt or other people... we are aggressive in the way that we handle it so that everybody's safe. Um, but yes, early morning because a lot of people work early morning. You never know if somebody's, you know, daily schedule. Um, so it's just usually a good time to make sure everybody's at home and we can get what we need.'

Two 'target dogs' involved in the investigation were removed from the property by animal welfare advocates. Other pets, including a small dog belonging to the visiting grandparents and two cats, were not implicated and remained with the family.

A deputy states, 'Just the big dogs... The little dog and the cats I don't think are involved.' The segment shows animal welfare advocates removing two larger dogs.

While detained in the police cruiser, Tony McAllister reported experiencing a panic attack, numbness in his left arm and face, and concerns about his blood pressure due to recently stopping medication. EMTs checked him on scene, and he requested to go to the hospital, which was accommodated.

McAllister states, 'I think I'm just mostly having a like panic attack. My whole left arm is numb and my feel like my left side of my face is a little numb. I have uh blood pressure issues...' He later says, 'I'd rather go to the hospital.'
