Reginald Cook, 26, is charged with two counts of attempted aggravated robbery.
According to the affidavit, Cook entered the store again and demanded money from the register.
Cook went up to the counter shouting Give me the damn money.
The victim pulled his gun in self-defense.
Police say no money was taken and no injuries were sustained.
Minutes later, officers arrived on the scene and took Cook into custody.
Hell fucking yes dude.
I respect a criminal with a little bit of innovation.
He didn’t want to have to break out his 5-foot snake.
He tried to go the fake gun route the first time.
He tried to go the fake gun route the second time.
I really wish we had more information on this snake.
I don’t know if it was actually a python.
I would love to see a video of this.
I have to think the gas station had some sort of camera that recorded the incident.
Was the snake aggressive?
Did Reginald have his snake trained to attack?
Was it more of a docile snake?
I have no idea.
But robbing a gas station with an animal is a hilarious move.
It should honestly be done more often.
Impromptu Speed Rankings of Animals to Rob a Gas Station With
1.
Pit Bull
Not the Miss Peaches kind of pit bull.
More like the Mike Vick kind of pit bull.
An angry pit bull is honestly a better weapon than a gun.
Nobody is going to shoot a dog.
Even an scary dog.
It’s actually kind of genius.
I didn’t like it one bit.
If a pigeon, or any sort of bird decides to attack your face, you’re so fucked.
you’re free to’t fend off a bird.
Especially a bald eagle.
They have sharp beaks and talons.
Bees
Idk if you could train bees.
Nobody fucks with bees.
And you’re able to’t defend against bees either.
No gun, or weapon is going to protect you against a swarm of bees.
Skunk
Honestly skunk should be way higher on the list.
Skunks are maybe the scariest animals of all.
If that skunk ever sprays me and my dogs I think I’d just have to kill myself.
Siamese Twins
Kinda scary tbh.
At minimum you could use him/her (them?)
On a different note, the article says that the victim (i.e.
the gas station clerk) pulled out a gun of his own in self-defense.
But if you’re working at gas station, would you even want a gun?
Even if you owned the gas station yourself?
I absolutely would not.
I guess I’d take one just in case shit really got crazy.
I’m not going gun to gun with a deranged criminal to protect my minimum wage gas station job.
No fucking thank you.
He can have the $200 in my register.
There’s not a chance in the world I’m risking gunfire for that.
I suppose he didn’t actually live there.
He just kinda hung around the place.
He definitely didn’t pay rent.
He just chilled outside and sometimes crashed on the couch when nobody was there to kick him out.
I did DMT with him once.
I still feel kind of bad about how that went down.
He was offering me a hit of DMT for hours.
But I was being a huge pussy about it.
Then he skipped work to do drugs with me.
He ended up getting fired.
I’ve always felt bad about that.
But honestly that was his decision.
It’s not like I was holding a skunk to his head.
Either way, the DMT was actually pretty sweet.
My only regret is that I didn’t take it all the way.
It was still a neat experience, but I didn’t get thefullexperience.
I hope he’s doing well.
Fingers crossed that he’s still alive.
