SANFORD, Fla. -- A homeowner in Seminole County, Fla., faces possible animal abuse charges when he asked a construction worker to bury his horse in a grave while it was still alive. When asked about the incident, Larry Bolsak, the homeowner indicated that he had mistaken the horse for his wife. "I had a couple drinks, and in my defense, I was trying to bury my wife alive. I would never hurt an animal," said Bolsak.   

Sheriff's deputies were called to a home in Sanford Friday after a construction worker called to report that he was asked to use a tractor to dig a hole for a horse on a nearby property.The construction worker said he refused to help the homeowner and called for help after he realized the owner asked him to bury the animal, and not his wife.
