Months ago, a Grand Prairie man went on local news to tell everyone his cobra snake had escaped into the community. But now, police have arrested the man for allegedly releasing the deadly snake on purpose. (The cobra remains at large.)
Last summer, a Grand Prairie man's highly venomous snake was reported missing. Months after first searching the surrounding area, the West African Banded Cobra remains at large.
The code Matl’s accused of violating covers anyone who knowingly, intentionally, recklessly or with criminal negligence releases what’s known as a “regulated snake” from captivity. Ah, yes: Welcome to Texas, where snakes are more regulated than guns. Last summer, Matl spoke on TV about the nature of his snake’s supposed escape. With his hair pulled back in a messy-bun, he explained in a monotonic stoner voice about how he’s basically the St. Francis of Assisi, but for snakes.
