Man Orders Pet Python to Attack Police

‘Get them!’ the man ordered his pet snake after police entered his apartment responding to a report of domestic disturbance.

Police officers in Bridgeport, Connecticut, responded Tuesday to a report of domestic disturbance. Apparently, 21-year-old Victor Rodriguez was threatening his girlfriend with his pet python.

As the officers entered the apartment, Rodriguez threatened them, ordering his 3-metre-long pet snake to “Get them!”. Luckily, pythons are not very obedient creatures, so nobody was hurt, the Associated Press reported.

Rodriguez was arrested and charged with threatening police officers. His pet snake was taken to an animal control centre.
