Somebody was making nighttime visits to farmer Terry Patterson's sheep barn in the 600 block of Big Mount Road in Paradise Township, police said.
Patterson told police he saw the evidence of several sexual assaults on his sheep, but never the intruder.
So he installed an alarm and intercom system.
It sounded about 3 a.m. Tuesday. Patterson went to the barn while his wife, Cindy, called 911.
Patterson told Northern York County Regional Police he peered in the barn window and saw a man assaulting a sheep, according to an arrest affidavit filed in District Justice Gerald Shoemaker's office.
Bruce Charles Englar, 53, of the 4600 block of Bentz Road in North Codorus Township, is charged with felony burglary for entering a building with the intention of committing a crime, namely, having sexual intercourse with a sheep.
Officer Patrick Gartrell of Northern Regional Police was patrolling nearby when 911 dispatched him to the Pattersons' home. He heard the farmer yelling in the barn, telling someone to stop. The officer ran toward a man dressed in black and ordered him to stop and put up his hands.
"I found baler's twine in Englar's back pocket, matching the twine that was hanging in the barn," Gartrell wrote in the affidavit.
Police allege the twine was to be used to secure the sheep for sexual intercourse.
Duty District Justice Nancy Edie also arraigned Englar by video camera on charges of criminal attempt to have sex with an animal, criminal trespass, possessing the instruments of crime and loitering and prowling at night.

So many sheep, so little time.
I'm sdurprised the miscreant is not named Achmed..
Wonder if he took her out to dinner first?
What a mutton head.
He was a baaaaaaaaaaad boy...
He was heard singing a line from that McCartney tune "Silly Love Songs". Same line, over and over: "I love ewe..."
HEY BUDDY, THAT'S MY SHEEP!!!
Where's the baaaaaarf alert?
...where the men are men and the sheep run scared...
I'm sure he was a democrat.
Wonders if the sheep will press charges.
...really, really hard.
This person must be mentally unstable. I just can not believe that a sane person would do this.
Anyway, it could have been consensual. The twine was just for a little kinky sex - I mean, who hasn't become bored with the usual vanilla man-sheep stuff?
I agree. He probably wanted to make it with 2 sheep at once.
He has been a baaaaad man.
It gives new meaning to "The Wiffenpoof Song" lyrics.
