GUTHRIE, Okla. (AP) — Police in Oklahoma say they found a rattlesnake, a canister of radioactive powdered uranium and an open bottle of Kentucky Deluxe whiskey during a traffic stop of a vehicle that had been reported stolen.

The traffic stop happened June 26 in Guthrie, about 30 miles (45 kilometers) north of Oklahoma City. Guthrie police Sgt. Anthony Gibbs told Oklahoma City TV station KFOR that police don't know why the uranium was in the vehicle or how it was obtained, though uranium ore can be bought on Amazon.

Gibbs says police also found a gun in the console and a terrarium in the backseat containing a pet Timber rattlesnake.

Gibbs says the driver, Stephen Jennings, was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, transporting an open container of liquor and driving with a suspended license.

Jennings remains jailed in Logan County.

1. Holy hell! The man was carrying around a container

of invisible death. To hell with the whiskey and rattlesnake, the fact that this dude is just traveling around with uranium is absolutely terrifying.
Edit:When/why did Amazon start selling Uranium ore?
I feel all of this should be a slightly bigger story.
Scary af.

3. You all got it wrong - he was a brewmaster

He was going to infuse that whiskey with rattlesnake venom and spike it with a dusting of uranium and then sell it on Amazon as a health cure or a cure for baldness.
