ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KSDK) - St. Louis County police officers responding to an assault call found not only a human victim, but also exotic animals that were victims, too.
A 17-year-old victim was allegedly attacked by the 28-year-old suspect, who hit the victim at least 3 times with a sledgehammer. Police say the victim’s injuries are not considered life threatening.
The attacker then allegedly impaled an alligator with a samurai sword. The alligator was chained up in the back yard of the home, in the 2300 block of Gardner drive in Moline Acres. That alligator was taken into surgery.
Police also found alive a 4-foot copperhead snake and a 6-foot rattlesnake. Two dead alligators and a dead snake were found in a freezer.
Police also found two live pythons, and found two dead alligators and a dead rattle snake. Those alligators and the rattlesnake were found in a freezer.
The Humane Society is assisting St. Louis County police with the animals.
