Aaron Trent Devereaux, 26 was arrested after officers posing as buyers of the stolen snakes agreed to meet Devereaux at a local Tractor Supply store. Devereaux was released from prison March 30 when he apparently decided to break into and steal snakes to sell.
According to the manager of the pet store, the thief didn't know the value of the snakes that were stolen because the most expensive snakes were left behind and those taken were mostly ball pythons and a red tail boa constrictor in addition to the green tree python.
