When his home was raided in Holladay, Utah, the 64-year-old was charged with 20 counts on keeping exotic animals.
"One of the issues that came to our attention is just the amount of debris coming from the animals made the area kind of have an interesting smell to it," detective Ken Hansen was quoted as saying by ABC4.

¡°We had animal control there and we had a veterinarian there. So every animal that was taken from there had an examination including the snakes, rats, and the rabbits," he added.
It is illegal to keep exotic animals as pets in the state. So he's facing a very steep punishment and may also have to pay a hefty fine.
