ELYRIA, Ohio - An Ohio man is accused of shoving the excrement of a poisonous snake in his girlfriend's mouth during an alleged domestic assault.
The Chronicle-Telegram newspaper in Elyria reports that Amber Pennell told police that her boyfriend Matthew Rudisill threatened to ruin her bedroom, then wouldn't let her leave once she entered.
Pennell tells police that she grabbed a poisonous coral snake from its holding tank and threatened to let it go if Rudisill didn't let her leave.
She says Rudisill grabbed the snake by the tail, took excrement from it and shoved his hand in her mouth.
Rudisill tells police he did not strike Pennell or put the excrement in her mouth. Police arrested Rudisill for domestic violence.
Court documents do not list a lawyer for Rudisill.
