One man has been sentenced in a bizarre case that made headlines across Canada after a garter snake was thrown across the counter of a Saskatoon Tim Hortons.
Christopher Jordan Cook, 21, received a conditional discharge with six months of probation for mischief and causing a disturbance. That means he will have no criminal record if he abides by his conditions, which include not going back to the 22nd St. and Avenue F South location where the incident happened on Dec. 8, 2014.
Wearing what appeared to be work clothes caked with paint, Cook had nothing to say about the snake-throwing incident during his sentencing in Saskatoon Provincial Court. His legal representative told the judge that Cook wrote an apology letter to Tim Hortons and donated $500 to one of its charities.
Cook and another man recorded themselves demanding an outrageous sandwich order before tossing the non-poisonous snake, which had been tucked inside Cook’s jacket pocket, towards the women who were taking their order.
