Man crashes car after snake attacks

A man crashed his car after a pet snake he had wrapped around his neck began attacking him, authorities said.

Witnesses reported that Courtland Page Johnson, 30, of East Naples, was driving erratically and crashed his PT Cruiser into several barricades about 9 p.m. Tuesday. He got out of his car, wrestled with the snake and then drove off, reports said.
When authorities caught up with Johnson at his home, he told them he crashed into another car that had stopped short in front of him. After questioning, Johnson admitted he panicked when his snake bit him.

He had cuts and freshly dried blood on his body, but did not need medical attention, reports said. Johnson was charged with leaving the scene of a crash.

He was charged for leaving the scene? Are you kidding? It’s bad enough that he was attacked in the freakin’ neck by his own snake! Wouldn’t you run too? Article here.
