If I told you that I would using the words “lawyer” and “deadly snake” in the same sentence, I bet you would not have anticipated this:
An Arkansas lawyer and his son will soon be heading to prison after pleading guilty to mailing a threatening communication — a poisonous snake.
Bob Sam Castleman, an attorney and former city judge in Pocahontas, Arkansas, and his son, Jerrod, were charged with mailing a cardboard box containing a venomous copperhead snake to a neighbor with whom they had feuded. The two pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday.
Disclaimer: I am part-lawyer so I am allowed to make lawyer jokes…I think.
