On 12/7/2024 at approximately 9:09 PM, officers with the Murray Police Department responded to a local alcohol establishment in reference to an unruly individual, later identified as Jonathan Mason (39) of Murray, KY, who had been asked to leave but was refusing to do so. Upon officer arrival, Mason was outside the business and was manifestly under the influence of alcohol. Mason had ridden a mule to the establishment, and he refused to stop when ordered to by the officer. As the officer attempted to place Mason under arrest, Mason resisted. Upon further investigation, witnesses had observed Mason whip the mule at a different establishment an “unnecessary amount” of times in addition to other ways of mistreating the animal. As a result, Mason was arrested, the mule was stabled, and Mason was lodged in the Calloway County Jail on the following charges:
• Disorderly Conduct 2nd Degree
• Alcohol Intoxication In a Public Place
• Criminal Trespassing 3rd Degree
• Resisting Arrest
• Cruelty to Animals 2nd Degree
On 12/9/2024 at 12:51, officers were dispatched to the area where this mule had been stabled in regards to a male that seemed to be intoxicated and was riding a mule down the roadway. An officer located Mason on his mule, but Mason refused to stop for the officer and he fled on the mule on the roadway. Shortly after fleeing, Mason was arrested and lodged in the Calloway County Jail on the following charges:
• Fleeing or Evading Police 3rd Degree
• Cruelty to Animals 2nd Degree
