Man uses python to assault motel guest
ROCK HILL, S.C. — Police in South Carolina say an argument between two motel guests ended when one of the men was hit in the head with a snake.
Rock Hill police say the victim told officers that he argued Tuesday night with 29-year-old Tony Smith over loud music coming from Smith's room.
The dispute appeared to be over, but the man told police Smith walked up to him several hours later with a 4-foot python and hit
him in the face with the snake's head.
Smith was charged with assault and battery. He remains in the Rock Hill jail on a nearly $1,100 bond and jail officials did not know if he had an attorney.
Suspect tries to bite off his fingerprints
MIDDELTOWN, N.J. — Authorities said a man who escaped from a police car in New Jersey tried to gnaw off his fingerprints. Police captured Keith Simmonds Jr. in Middletown on Monday. Authorities said the 21-year-old's fingertips were bloodied.
Police arrested Simmonds on drug charges after officers stopped them and said they found marijuana on Sunday night.
Police said Simmonds managed to move his handcuffed arms to the front of his body, kick out the side window of the patrol car and escape while officers used a drug-detection dog to search his car.
Simmonds was being held in the Monmouth County jail on $135,000 bail.
Baked potato is poor disguise for cocaine
ATHENS, Ala. — Limestone County authorities have arrested a man they said tried to disguise five
ounts of cocaine as a baked potato. Sheriff's Lt. Lance Royals said they got a tip Monday afternoon that a man in a silver Mustang had cocaine.
When investigators approached the man, he said he had nothing illegal. Investigators searched the car and found a carryout plate with chicken, rice and what looked like a foil-wrapped potato.
The foil contained five ounces of cocaine.
The man was being held without bail on the trafficking charge and on $2,500 bail on a charge of giving a false name.
