Uranium powder found among other oddities in OK traffic stop

So in a traffic stop in Guthrie Oklahoma, a former felon was found possessing a timber rattlesnake in a terrarium, open whiskey, a firearm, expired plates on a stolen car, and really the head scratcher, uranium powder. Kinda like, which one of these things doesn't belong. In an update, the metal was for calibrating the Geiger counter. News link

Heard that story of the drug dealer who fed his "attack squirrel" methamphetamine in order to guard his drug stash? Dude was clearly trying to one up that guy my feeding a rattler uranium.
Jokes aside, I fear this is going to become another talking piece for restriction of chemicals.

"If an Oklahoma bum can get uranium imagine what DaNgErOuS people could get their hands onn!!!1!!"

It even made complete sense that he had it, like... yeah, testing your Geiger counter is a completely acceptable reason to have amounts of uranium.

I believe that no charges were filed for the uranium or rattlesnake, that is all fine in Oklahoma.

Stolen car, open whisky bottle, not so much.

I think there's an excellent opportunity for a cage fight. Atomic snake vs Amphisquirrel.

Sounds like a Syfy original movie. Starring Ron Perlman!

99% of people are simply ignorant, and stupidly think that uranium=nuclear bomb, so if you have some uranium you are dangerous.
honestly with a fee grams you can't do much

What's an OK traffic stop? Are there "not OK" ones?

roXefeller - 13-7-2019 at 10:30

An ok traffic stop is when there's only a rattlesnake or maybe a squirrel by itself. A not ok traffic stop is when they're both there. QED

Not sure I'd your making a joke, but OK is the abbreviation for Oklahoma. You are from the universe, after all.

They also had a slogan, a double entendre.
"Oklahoma is OK"
This Oklahoma state slogan first appeared on licence plates back in 1967.
