GULFPORT - A Gulfport man will spend the next 18 months in prison for having sexual intercourse with a horse.

Carl Patrick Brown, 30, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Harrison County Circuit Court to a charge of having intercourse with a horse. Prosecutors said the owner of the mare caught Brown in May 2001 on videotape. The tape would have been used at trial.

Brown must register as a sex offender when he is released from prison because the offense is considered a sex crime in Mississippi. Brown, who said he had used the drug ecstasy when he committed the crime, will be on probation for five years after his release.
