HOW IS DISORDERLY CONDUCT THE ONLY POSSIBLE CHARGE?! How about poaching and animal cruelty? Ha, what am I saying, snakes aren't cute and fuzzy enough. If they were kittens the public outrage would be overwhelming, lol.

It is illegal to kill any non-game amphibian or reptile in Arkansas unless it proves to be an imminent threat to persons or property (obviously not the case here). All snakes in Arkansas are considered non-game wildlife, poaching definitely occurred. The only snake I can see well enough to ID is a Diamondback Water Snake (Nerodia rhombifer), though the odds are good the others are Water Snakes (Nerodia sp.) as well.
