Court records show the Grand Prairie owner of a cobra that got loose last summer kept the snake in a homemade cage without locks and had other venomous snakes inside his home.
According to 23-year-old Lawrence Matl's arrest warrant, the homemade cage he kept his West African Banded Cobra in was only made out of plywood and Plexi-glass.Matl initially told officers his cage had a lock, but police bodycam video disputes that claim.
Police say Matl also had another similar cobra and a Pit Viper inside his house. Both snakes were confiscated by wildlife authorities.Advertisement
