 |
MASTIC, N.Y. — A man was arrested Tuesday for walking on a highway with a 14-foot python wrapped around his body, police said.
Curtis Dewberry, 35, of Wading River was spotted by an officer for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals while out strolling Tuesday afternoon, police in Long Island's Suffolk County said. The officer called police because the python is considered a danger to the public.
Dewberry has been charged with animal cruelty and failure to protect the public against dangerous wildlife. He was being held Tuesday and didn't have a lawyer.

The man was more dangerous to the public than the snake.  Stupidity is very hazardous!
