Custody Battle
The 7th Precinct Police station in Shirley, NY, took custody of a 14-foot Constricting Burmese Python last January 15th. The incident began when a 35-year old resident of nearby Wading River, Long Island, NY, decided on a cold winter’s day to walk around Mastic town with his pet snake wrapped around his neck like a Dickie. An ASPCA Officer spotted the two at a store along the Montauk Highway in Mastic and called police. The 7th PCT police arrived and soon arrested the serpent wearer for Failing to Protect the Public and Animal Cruelty. The Conservation Department was also expected to press charges. Seen in the photo are ASPCA and 7th Pct Officers placing the huge snake in a transport box to find it a better home.
