On Sunday, New York police arrested two men for recording an attempt to have sexual intercourse with a cow. One of the men charged worked for the Farmington, Connecticut school district.

According to New York State police, 35-year-old Michael H. Jones was recording 31-year-old Reid Fontaine trying to have sex with a cow, Hartford Courant reports. The men were doing the deed on a farm in Herkimer, New York.

Police found Jones and Fontaine after a tip from a farmer who put a hidden video camera in his barn to figure out why his cows seemed nervous and were making less milk. The men were apparently the cause and were charged with the misdemeanor of sexual misconduct.

To make the situation even stickier, Reid was reportedly covered in Jell-O when he attempted to romance the farm animal.

"Now when we arrived, one of the men was actively having sex with the cow," WTNH-TV News 8 said according to Radar Online. "His friend who was videotaping the act took off as soon as he seen us arrive. Now we can't show you that video because the man was naked and covered in Jell-O..."

Now, Farmington citizens are concerned as Fontaine was an information technology network specialist for the Farmington school district. He resigned on Sunday.

"I couldn't believe it," Gerilynne Carnelli, a Farmington special education teacher, told WTNH-TV News 8. "I just... what? No never and then I was like, 'wow, it's bizarre.'"

Fontaine underwent a background and criminal background check via the Farmington police department and FBI before starting at the school, both of which he passed.

"The former employee did not provide instruction to students nor did he have responsibilities involving direct student contact," Superintendent Kathleen C. Greider said in a statement. "As IT Network Specialist, his job involved the maintenance of the district's technology infrastructure and hardware."

According to Farmington Lieutenant Colin Ryan, there have been no similar incidents in the area.
