Man orders pet python to attack police, fails
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) Police in Bridgeport, Conn., said 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 said 21-year-old Victor Rodriguez was charged with threatening officers and disorderly conduct after Monday's incident. No one was hurt. —Associated Press
