 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."
