Elijah Bowles picked up a package at the Twentynine Palms Post Office and found a live rattlesnake inside. An investigation is underway.
It’s not every day that someone makes an attempt on your life. But Elijah Bowles believes that’s exactly what happened last week, when he picked up a package at the Twentynine Palms Post Office and found a live rattlesnake inside. Someone had put cotton balls in the box so postal workers wouldn’t hear the snake's rattle, the 60-year-old truck driver said. “That’s attempted murder, if you ask me,” he said.
The species, also known as the Northern Pacific rattlesnake, is common in Northern California but isn't usually found in Southern California. Boyd said he doesn’t believe it's possible that the snake slithered into the package while it was in transit and noted that it appears to have been intentionally mailed. Assassination attempts by rattlesnake have precedent in Southern California.
