LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — Georgia wildlife authorities say they’ve arrested a man accused of keeping exotic snakes, an alligator and other critters inside a zoo-like home in suburban Atlanta.
An arrest warrant lists a Gaboon viper, two cobras, an alligator, a squirrel and a raccoon among animals seized from the Gwinnett County home of Jesus Cruz-Concepcion. Jail records show that he is charged with unlawful possession of wildlife and marijuana possession.
WSB-TV reports that Cruz-Concepcion was taken into custody Sunday by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
WSB reports that on Monday, he had an initial court appearance where his bond was set at $22,000. Jail records do not list an attorney who could be reached for comment on his behalf.
