BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- Police say they arrested a man after he ordered his pet to attack two officers. Lucky for them, 9-foot-long pythons aren't very obedient.
Police say 21-year-old Victor Rodriguez was charged with threatening officers and disorderly conduct after yesterday's incident. No one was hurt.
Police arrived at Rodriguez's apartment after receiving a report that he was threatening his girlfriend with the albino python.
After the building's superintendent opened the apartment door for the officers, Rodriguez allegedly threatened them with the snake and told it to "Get them!"
Rodriguez and his pet were both taken away: Rodriguez to jail on a $10,000 bond, and the reptile to the city's animal control shelter. |
Thanks, fella, for making the rest of us look bad. And you have to love how they didn't bother telling us what species the snake was, as though albino pythons are all the same.

I think this guy can safely use MENTAL INSANITY as a defense! 
"Rodriguez allegedly threatened them with the snake and told it to "Get them!"" 
I can just imagine the other officers back at the precint laughing hard after hearing the "get them!" statement made by the defendant to a snake.
