TGI Friday's Snake Head Incident Becomes A Cold Case
The decomposed snake head that a Clifton Park, NY man discovered in his side portion of broccoli has reached the end of its strange, unappetizing journey—for now. Since Consumerist broke the story back in May, there have been no leads.
With no leads in the case, the snake is chilling in a refrigerated State Police evidence locker until a witness comes forward, or the statute of limitations for the case is up.
The statute of limitations would be three years for a crime alleged to be a public health hazard, five years if it's a felony, a local law enforcement official said.[State Trooper Maureen] Tuffey said it may seem odd that the tiny beast's head must be kept in the cooler, but it's not unusual in her line of work.
"We've had worse things than a small snake's head, and it doesn't take up much room," she said.
Poor, innocent snake's head—evidently it's keeping some very bad company these days. If only it could talk, and explain how it got into a side dish.

Did we ever hear anything again from the guy that FOUND the snake head? Because I feel like he kind of disappeared once we knew the snake wasn't cooked with the broccoli.
Ahh, I can't help but crack up every time I see that "SNAKES ON A PLATE" graphic. So good.
Hee! I just glanced over the second paragraph and read it as, "the snake is chilling in a refrigerated Snake Police evidence locker until a witness comes forward..."
Must get some more caffeine in me.
@The Queen of Everything: Yea sounds like epic fail to me. If this had happened to me I would be pretty upset.
@The Queen of Everything: don't people USUALLY disappear after people start leaving them messages consisting of animal heads?
@Baxterjones: I saw the same thing.
Also, for some reason, the "tiny beast" phrase cracks me up. But then I get sad thinking about the little snake. Though it's a hilarious phrase.
Admit it, consumerist - you just couldn't WAIT to use that "Snakes on a Plate" graphic again.
I can't say i blame you, it is awesome.
So after three years, what do they do with it? Do they incinerate it? or do they bury it in Potter's Field under the name John SSSSSSmith?
