Hamilton: Police said a suspicious package at a shipping store turned out to be a box of live boa constrictors. Fairfield Township police said they were called on Tuesday after FedEx Office employees saw two pillowcases moving when they got curious and opened the parcel at a store about 20 miles north of Cincinnati.
Officer Justen McDade said he looked in one pillowcase, saw a snake and quickly tied the pillowcase closed. A reptile rescue group was contacted and took custody of the snakes.
A local man was listed on the shipping label, and the package was addressed to a man in Phoenix, Ariz. He's been told he may not get the snakes.
McDade said authorities are trying to verify if the sender had a license for shipping snakes. No charges have been filed.
