Alright, y’all, buckle up for this wild ride.
So, picture this: It’s May 6th in Vallejo, California. Cops pull over a 50-year-old dude named Clifford Vincenty. Nothing too crazy, right? But hold up—when they check his car, they find half a pound of meth. That’s already a big yikes.
But wait, there’s more.
The next day, the police hit up Clifford’s house with a search warrant. And what do they find? Another full pound of meth, over $2,000 in cash, and—get this—a baby spider monkey and two rattlesnakes. Yeah, you read that right. This man had a mini zoo in his crib.
The meth stash? Worth about $26,000 on the streets. The monkey? Her name’s Violeta, and she’s now chillin’ at the Oakland Zoo, getting the care she needs. The rattlesnakes? They’re being relocated by JW Reptile Rescue to a safer spot.
Now, Clifford’s facing not just drug charges but also charges for having exotic animals. Turns out, wildlife trafficking is a serious issue, and keeping animals like Violeta as pets is a big no-no.
So, what’s the lesson here? Maybe don’t mix meth dealing with running a bootleg zoo.
Reaction: Man, Clifford out here trying to be the next Tiger King but ended up more like the Jungle Joker.
