[Photograph 2012.201.B0223.0215]
Caption: "Oklahoma City police held a 7 1/2 foot Boa constrictor in custody for a while today. When officers spotted the serpent, it was wrapped around a man who was later booked as W. A. Chickanoka of Glasgow, Ky. The man was arguing with a clerk at a downtown hotel, trying to convince the clerk that he had a room reservation. Chickanoka, who also called himself "Wachickanoka, King of the Snakes," was booked for disorderly conduct. He posted $20 bond and was released. The snake king was wearing a tuxedo and stovepipe hat when he was arrested."
