A Bush man who was gifted a giant alligator snapping turtle for some home cooking got more than he bargained for, a human finger deep inside the reptile. St. Tammany Parish Sheriffs Spokesperson Scott Lee says they’ve reached out to local hospitals to see if any cases of turtle related accidents fit, and so far, no luck.
Efforts to obtain a fingerprint failed, and Cadaver sniffing dogs are now scouring the area where the turtle was originally found, incase this was more than just an accident, but Lee says it’s certainly possible the creature could’ve just grabbed a snack from an unlucky angler. The turtle was discovered in west St. Tammany Parish.
