HARTFORD, Conn. - July 28, 2009 Hartford police Sgt. Christene Mertes says Angel Rolon, of New
Britain, claimed he lost control of his SUV on Monday when the
snakes slithered near the gas and brake pedals and he and a
passenger tried to catch them. The SUV veered into some parked cars
and overturned.
Mertes says animal control officers never found the snakes and
police have been unable to confirm his story.
Rolon was treated at a hospital for unknown injuries. Police say
they gave him a summons for reckless driving and other charges.
There is no public telephone listing for Rolon and it was
unclear if he has a lawyer.
