Man summons firefighters to remove a snake from his baggage
A man who arrived home Friday after a flight got quite a surprise when he opened his suitcase.
Firefighters responded about 10:15 p.m. to a residence on Rocky Mountain Way in Arden. The man arrived home after landing in Charlotte, opened his baggage and saw a snake, Skyland Fire Department Capt. Kevin Bartlett said.
"He stepped back and called us. We went in and determined it was a rubber snake," Barlett said. "We handed it to him and left."
Bartlett said the man did not know where the snake came from or who could have put it there.
