SUMMARY: Denise Frazier of Laurel, arrested for engaging in sexual acts with dogs, is back in custody after a grand jury indictment in Jones County. Prevailing in headlines since her April 2023 arrest, Frazier was charged with unnatural intercourse and aggravated animal cruelty, stemming from multiple videos including one in a church parking lot. A subsequent arrest occurred in February following new footage during her pregnancy. The Forrest County grand jury delivered indictments for both attempted and actual unnatural intercourse.
