Darwin Olympics: Doesn’t Everyone Travel with a Rattlesnake and Uranium?

Meanwhile in Oklahoma . . .

Some stories one can’t help but wonder, what was the plan here?

Two people in Guthrie, Oklahoma were pulled over by police for expired tags, but clearly had so much more going on — turns out the car they were driving was stolen . . . there was an illegal gun in the console . . . an open bottle of Kentucky Deluxe whiskey was sitting next to the gun . . . there was a rattlesnake in the backseat . . .

Oh, yeah . . . and there was also a canister of radioactive uranium (because, obviously).

Stephen Jennings was the driver of the stolen ride and was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, having an open container, driving on a suspended license, and more.

The passenger, Rachael Rivera, was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon.

Police weren’t sure what the duo were planning to do with the uranium, so those charges are pending.

So many questions . . . (1) how and why was there a rattlesnake . . . (2) why were they driving with uranium . . . (47) how does one even cross paths with uranium . . . (62) but, wait, was the rattlesnake in an enclosure  or was it just free roaming in the back . . . (93) can we hear the audio when the officers relayed the info to dispatch; we know it exists . . . (135) which officer had to deal with the rattlesnake?

Oh, look . . . audio . . .
