Follow up to this story - it was pretty obvious it didn't happen the way it was orginally reported.

Woman Charged After Cobra-Biting Claim
Police Found Dangerous Rattlesnake At Her Home
updated 7:16 p.m. ET, Tues., Feb. 2, 2010

Police with the Department of Natural Resources have charged a woman with possession of a venomous snake after she recently claimed she was bitten by one.

Last month, 58-year-old woman claimed she was bitten by a cobra that she discovered in a White Marsh parking lot.

Police investigating her claim found another snake -- a Neo Tropical Rattlesnake -- at her home in Hydes. The snake was about 4 feet long and 4 inches in diameter.

The rattlesnake was taken to the Catoctin Mountain Zoo in Thurmont, as was the cobra.
