Someone mailed a California man a rattlesnake , he says it was attempted homicide.
60-year-old Elijah Bowles called 911 last week after picking up his mail from the post office. As Mr. Bowles drove away with a friend in the car he asked her if she would open a package marked fragile he had received.
When the friend opened the box she immediately cried out in alarm and threw the box. She exclaimed, "There's a snake in there!"
Bowles quickly pulled over and removed the box from the car. He then found a stick and gingerly opened the box to reveal a 2 foot long Rattlesnake. Whoever had sent the lethal package had placed cotton balls inside of the box in an attempt to keep the rattles quiet.
Besides being marked fragile it also had a return address to a home in Palm Coast, Florida. However the package was mailed from Hayward, California.
Animal control officers identified the snake as a Western Rattlesnake. The incident is being investigated by U.S Postal Inspection Unit as well as the San Bernadino Sheriff's office.
