"The driver allegedly armed himself with a live snake, pointed the head of the reptile at them and threatened them," police said in a statement on the incident that occurred in Darwin on Saturday. The motorist picked up the snake after officers who noticed him swerving along a street pulled him over for a breath test, which showed his alcohol level to be 0.131, over the legal limit of 0.08. The officers told the man to drop the snake, but he ran into the bush still carrying the slithering threat. A man alleged to be the driver is to be summonsed to court on charges of exceeding the blood-alcohol level and driving an unregistered vehicle, police said.
