Fla. Woman Sets Snake, Apartment On Fire POSTED: 10:24 am EDT May 3, 2006 UPDATED: 10:33 am EDT May 3, 2006 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- After being told by her apartment complex that it was not management's responsibility to remove a snake from her porch, a Jacksonville woman set the reptile -- and her apartment on fire. Shatavia Kearney called the Charter Landing Apartments office Sunday afternoon and asked someone to remove a snake for her porch. The 19-year-old told police she was told do deal with the situation herself. So Kearney doused the snake with a flammable liquid and set it on fire. In the process, the vinyl siding caught fire and was charred and melted in two places. The total damage was about $1,000. No one was charged and the snake got away. http://www.local6.com/news/9152640/detail.html
