A veritable Samuel L. Jackoff
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I have had it with those [expletive deleted] snakes in the [same expletive] drain:
A man who caught a 14-foot python in a Florida drain pipe was charged with perpetrating a hoax after wildlife officers discovered he owned the snake and put it in the pipe in order to stage the capture.
Justin Matthews, a professional animal trapper, later admitted that he had “staged the event to call attention to a growing problem of irresponsible pet ownership,” the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said on Thursday.
Matthews was charged with misusing the 911 emergency system and maintaining captive wildlife in an unsafe manner.
I can only conclude that this guy couldn’t afford to send the snake up in a balloon.

“staged the event to call attention to a growing problem of irresponsible pet ownership,”
Uh-huh. And, I hope, the cops are doing something to call attention to irresponsible 911 hoax-callers.
