A gay porn actor has been arrested and charged after he was found masturbating on equipment at a fire station in Louisville, Kentucky.

Last weekend, Nicholas Gonzales, 27, shattered one of the bay window doors on the building, broke in, pulled gear out of lockers in a storage room and was found masturbating on the items.

Police said he was under the influence of alcohol and when asked why he broke in, he stated: ā€œBecause I wanted to,ā€ reports WLKY.

Damage to the bay window door is estimated at $1,000 (Ā£655.44)

Gonzales is charged with burglary, public intoxication and criminal mischief.

Following a tip off by a reader to the website Gawker, Gonzales has been identified as the gay porn actor Donny Wright.

The reader noticed a resemblance between the two, and the name on Donny Wrightā€™s Amazon account is Nicholas Gonzalez.

Donny Wright also tweeted from his account that he was in Kentucky on Friday 15 February ā€“ shortly before the incident.
