Woman smuggled snake out of store in pants
LANSING, Mich. (UPI) -- A clerk at Preuss Animal House in Lansing, Mich., said a woman stole a boa constrictor by hiding the snake inside her pants but quickly returned the reptile. The clerk said the woman grabbed the boa while his back was turned and shoved it down her pants before quickly exiting the store, WDIV-TV, Lansing, Mich., reported Monday. A surveillance camera recorded the woman reaching into the snake tank and walking away. Rick Preuss, the store's owner, said employees were concerned about the health of the baby snake before the woman brought it back to the shop. "She brought it back right away and ran out the door before I could even get hold of any law enforcement," Preuss said. He said the store is not seeking to press any charges.
