Just when you think you’ve seen it all, L.A. first
responders say they were called to a sushi restaurant on Sunday after a man
allegedly threw a giant python on the floor and walked out.
“Probably one of the weirdest calls that I’ve ever heard us
respond to,” LAPD Lt. John Gavin told Fox 11.
Police say the man had already showed up at the restaurant
with a smaller snake earlier that night. When he started arguing with another
diner, he was asked to leave.
So the man did – but then he came back, this time with a
13-foot python.
“Customers are yelling, ‘Get this thing out! Are you
crazy,’” Jessie Davaadorj, a server, told KCAL 9.
Lt. Gavin said the suspect, who was later arrested, didn’t
deny his involvement.
He said that “he was mad, and that he felt that was the
only way he could get even,” said the lieutenant.
Thankfully, the fire department and animal control were
able to safely corner the snake into a box.
Police say the man, who is homeless, has been charged with
criminal threats from “using the snake as a weapon and threatening the
patrons.”
