MASTIC, N.Y. (AP) -- Police said a Long Island man has been arrested for walking on a highway with a 14-foot-long python wrapped around his body.
Suffolk County police say Curtis Dewberry, 35, of Wading River, was spotted by an officer for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals while out strolling Tuesday afternoon. The officer called police because the python is considered a danger to the public.
Dewberry has been charged with animal cruelty and failure to protect the public against dangerous wildlife.
He was being held pending a Wednesday arraignment and didn't have a lawyer. There was no telephone listing for him
