Santa Barbara County sheriff's deputies found a bizarre scene Wednesday
morning when they stopped outside the La Purisima Mission to investigate an
empty car.







Thinking they would find a suspect trespassing on state park property,
deputies discovered 69-year-old Alfred Thomas Steven of Huntington Beach
naked and coated in olive oil and oats in the sheep enclosure.

When deputies confronted Steven, they found that he had a loaded .357
revolver, officials said. Steven also allegedly admitted that he was
enacting a fantasy and he drove up to the mission, at 2295 Purisima Road,
from Huntington Beach for that purpose.

Steven was arrested on misdemeanor charges of trespassing on state park
property, animal cruelty, sexually assaulting an animal, and possession of a
loaded firearm, deputies said.

Park rangers were called to help with the investigation, and Steven was
eventually released with a citation, officials said.

No animals were hurt in the incident, according to deputies
