Stephen Sodones, 62, was hospitalized in August after being bitten three times on the arm by a copperhead snake that he had picked up in an attempt to help it safely cross Route 23 in Jefferson, New Jersey. (According to a neighbor interviewed in the Newark Star-Ledger, Sodones is a committed animal lover who likes to feed bears and once successfully revived a stunned bumblebee by warming it in his hands.) And Delshawn Prejean, 35, was arrested in Jacksonville, Florida, in June after a server at Starbucks identified him to security as the guy who’d left her a small pile of marijuana as a tip the day before.
Awesome!
Wrong Place, Wrong Time
