Here’s a thought: if you don’t want to get arrested for a crime, don’t be obvious.
A man is facing charges after he allegedly tried to rob a convenience store with a five-foot snake around his neck.
Memphis, Tennessee police say Reginald Cook went into the store early in the morning and demanded money from the register.
The cashier refused and Cook left.
He returned again about an hour later, this time, with the snake wrapped around his neck and again demanded money.
Cook also reportedly reached into his backpack and that's when the clerk grabbed his own gun in self-defense.
Police showed up before any shots were fired and Cook was arrested.
