Two 20 year old men are in custody after a sandwich order went wrong at a local restaurant.
Police were called to the restaurant in the 600 block of 22nd Street West at approximately 7:30 a.m, December 8, 2014. Staff members had fled the store in fear after a snake was thrown behind the counter. They reported that two male customers had been arguing with an employee about the preparation of their sandwiches. The men wanted their onions diced. As the argument escalated one of the men reached into the pocket of his friend’s coat, pulled out a snake and threw it behind the counter. No one was physically injured. Officers were able to quickly locate the snake and determined it was non-poisonous. They took the snake and the two men, who were located nearby, into custody.
The men are now facing charges of mischief and causing a disturbance. Officers have located a temporary home for the snake until it can be released into the wild in the spring.
What? No cruelty to animal charge? Poor snakes, they get no respect.
Yea, you’d think the Humane Society would be on this like flies on manure.
The snake is being wrongfully imprisoned without charges. Free the snake now 🙁
I’ll bet the argument was over the restaurant not having a bun long enough.
Was that the sssnake sssanwitch sspecial?
This sort of thing happens on every slow news day.
Which makes it a kind of good news, signifying nothing serious is happening and reminding us that the infotainment media is only what it is.
If this was an emotional support snake, that would indicate the two customers are likely Liberals from Toronto.
The question is whether the snake will represent itself, or find another lawyer to provide counsel.
Did that not used to be called a practical joke?
And PETA will be sending out their usial junk mail asking fools who belong to their stupid organization to send in $500 to a SAVE THE SNAKE campaign and lead by hollyweed wanks like Alec Baldwin and Pamela Anderson
Alright, who’s the joker what ordered the snake standwich?
must be a real snake as there were no “indecent exposure” charges
“Officers were able to quickly locate the snake and determined it was non-poisonous.”
Officers determined that?
No disrespects to officer’s expertise, but, unless it was a rubber snake I’d like a second opinion.
‘one of the men reached into the pocket of his friend’s coat, pulled out a snake and threw it behind the counter’
I smell a set-up.
Like: ‘hey let’s do something crazy with the snake’
I was wondering how long it would be for the first trouser snake joke.
Cute pun by the way.
I HATE SNAKES,I HATE SNAKES
The owner of the restaurant feared that the snake may have given birth to smaller snakes when it went in hiding before the police arrived.
The police ran a check on the snake and told the restaurateur not to worry–she had had a hiss–terectomy.
NO FUNNY PLAINSDRIFTER
Will the boys need a lawyer if they get the snake back?
Shouldn’t that be “snakes on la pain”?
Of course there are different snakes brought from many places to sell as pets, but the only snake common to this region is the garter snake. It is not poisonous and it is not uncommon for people around here to recognise a garter snake for what it is.
Who carries a snake around in their pocket? This was planned from the very beginning. Throw the book at these two snakes! Okay, I’ll admit it, I hate snakes.
Anyone who likes snakes or has one as a pet are out of their minds or just plain nuts
