FULL TITLE: No wriggle room: Kentucky snake preacher has five reptiles confiscated after illegally attempting to transport them through Tennessee

A snake-handling Kentucky preacher has been forced to leave five venomous serpents in Tennessee after he was caught trying to move them through the state.

Jamie Coots pleaded guilty to illegally having poisonous snakes that were confiscated after a traffic stop in Knox County, Tennessee, on Jan. 31.

Prosecutors agreed to drop charges of transporting the snakes and wildlife officials agreed to give back the boxes Coots was using to carry the snakes from Alabama to his Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name Church in Middlesboro, Kentucky.

“Where’s the back door?”

“There ain’t one.”

“Reckon where they want one?”

Salamanders are the slimy bit.

One dear FReeper friend said that when she sees weird things she thinks of me.

I suppose the reverse would be worse.

LOL

Now that they all have computers they drive along shooting tag numbers for anything that they stop behind, see switching lanes in front of them, or that catches their eye due to make or model. They seem especially fond of checking vanity plates and Crown Vics for some reason.

They get a lot of stops for expired license and other little infractions they wouldn't notice otherwise due to having no reason to check out the driver.

I was relieved to discover that this is NOT a Things In Pants thread.

Once it became a soap opera, always centered around the cigarette-smoking man, it was unwatchable. The circus retirement community was a classic.
