In Memphis, Tennessee, a man was arrested after attempting to rob a gas station armed with a 5-foot-long snake. The incident occurred on Monday when the suspect, identified as Mr. Cook, entered the Shell gas station with the snake wrapped around his neck and a green backpack. A clerk at the station, who was armed with a firearm, thwarted the robbery attempt. This was reportedly Mr. Cook's third attempt to rob the station using the snake as a weapon.
