SNAKE CRAWLS OUT OF SUSPECT’S JACKET DURING ARREST

Police officers in Hamilton, Ontario responded to a store break-in around 5 a.m. last Thursday. Officers quickly found and arrested a man in his 40s. As he was being detained, a four-foot Greentree python slithered out of the suspect’s jacket. The snake, worth $2,000, had been stolen from a pet store. A brave female police cadet, accompanying the officers, was tasked with returning the snake to its cage inside the store.
* ‘Cause, y’know – you always dump the crappy jobs on the cadets. They’re like interns.
* Suspects don’t usually giggle during the arrest.
* “Look out! It’s loaded – with venom!”
* “That’s not mine, I was holding it for a friend.”
* They did another search at the jail, and that’s when they found the gerbil.
