Woman Sets Snake on Fire After Apartment Management Tells Her to Deal With Reptile Herself
After being told by her apartment complex management that it was not their responsibility to remove a snake for her porch, a woman set the reptile on fire and caused $1,000 damage to vinyl siding.
Shatavia Kearney, 19, called the Charter Landing Apartments office Sunday and asked someone to remove a snake for her porch. Police said she told them she was told to deal with the situation herself, The Florida Times-Union reported Wednesday
So Kearney doused the snake with a flammable liquid and set it on fire, according to a police report by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
In the process, the vinyl siding caught fire and was charred and melted in two places.
No one was charged and the snake got away.
Shatavia .
Isn't that the one world Stargate SG-1 has not visited?
It may be in the Pegasus Galaxy....
Stupid twit woman.
Shatavia says a lot more about this person than her mother probably intended when she named her.
It got away, lol! Last one the cat dragged in here was introduced to a cast iron skillet - it didn't escape.
Wouldn't you shoo a snake off your porch with a broom or mop before you risked burning the house down? If she was afraid it would come back, she should have called one of those critter catcher companies.
Idiot. Chances are it was harmless, and there is such a thing as animal control.
I think that's what disgruntled natives of nearby Batavia, NY call their burgh...
Well, that'll teach "Apartment Management" not to "manage" their duties. Maybe they had to run out and grab a beer and couldn't be bothered with actually doing their job!

Damn plumbers... |
They were certainly negligent, in my opinion, for not helping this woman. Yet this does not excuse what the woman did, though I give her credit for trying.
The bottom side of one or a hot one?
After it met the bottom of the skillet a few times, there wasn't much left for frying, lol.
