Live Rattlesnake Mailed To FL Trucker: 'I'm Not A Gangster'
PALM COAST, FL — “I’m not a gangster. I’m a truck driver.”
That's what 60-year-old Elijah Bowles of Palm Coast recently told the Los Angeles Times after he received a live rattlesnake in the mail from a mysterious sender.
"I’m trying to figure out, do I have any enemies?" he told the newspaper.
The Godfather-esque drama began May 16 when the Florida-based trucker picked up his mail from the Twentynine Palms Post Office. As he drove away from the facility, he asked a friend who was with him to open a box sent to him.
Surprise.

Somehow, I suspect a fan of tRump was the sender. I can't imagine being so hate fiiled, to pull a stunt like that. They endangered the postal workers as well as the poor guy who received it, and the snake didn't deserve to be dragged into a dispute between humans. Just WOW.
