Man held for hiding python in his pants

A

young man detained by police during a drunken argument in Germany was found to be carrying a baby python in his pants, and may be in trouble under animal welfare laws.

Police in the southwestern city of Darmstadt said the 19-year-old was detained on Tuesday night after a loud argument with another man disturbed residents. Officers noticed “a significant bulge in his trousers.” The man told officers that he had a snake in his pants, and pulled out a 35-centimeter (14-inch) baby king python. (AP)
