Man Bitten After Putting Snake in Pocket
GREENWICH, N.J. - A man who police say stole two snakes from a pet store was bitten by one of the reptiles as he drove home from the Franklin Township store.
The tiger python snakes were not poisonous, and the 20-year-old man, whom police declined to identify, did not seek medical treatment for the bite to his groin area.
Police said the man took the snakes last week, slipping them into canvas bags he had rigged in his pants pockets. As the man headed home, one of the snakes wriggled out of the bag, wrapped itself around his leg and bit him.
Police recovered the snakes from the man's home. Officers went there because the man had bought an iguana from the store the same day the snakes were stolen.
The man was charged with receiving stolen property. Theft charges were also expected to be filed.
For cryin' out loud!!! Whyyyyyyy, lawd, whyyyyyyy?! ::SMH::
