Mike in Ohio
Well-known member
A little beside the point but a guy I worked with a few years ago was the county'snuisancetrapper as a side job. One day the local police dept called him at the lumber yard where we worked, they gave him an address and said to come there right now. They said to put the boss on the phone and they would square it with him so the guy wouldn't get in trouble for leaving work early. He goes to the address and it is a drug bust in progress. The drug dealers have their stash protected protected by a couple of rattlesnakes, a couple of copperheads and a COBRA. He proceeds to catch the snakes (turns out the cobra was dead, at least thats his story and it was dead when I saw it). Rattlesnakes are protected in Ohio so he couldn't just kill them in front of the cops. Did I mention this happened in January so he made the 60 mile trip to the Cleveland zoo with a burlap bag full of poisonous snakes on the front seat of his truck because if he would have put them in the bed they would have frozen to death and probably got him into more trouble than the drug dealers were in. He did have alot of fun walking around the lumber yard scaring people with that dead cobra though.
