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.
