Nathaniel Buck Harrison of Oracle, Arizona sought vengeance against a foe by hitting him on the head with a board and then attempting to sic a rattlesnake on him. Apparently, the snake declined to participate.

"This is the first case I have heard where a victim attempted to use a venomous snake to kill or injure his victim," according to Sheriff Paul Babeu's statement quoted at KPHO.

Actually, regular BB readers know that Harrison definitely wasn't the first person who attempted to weaponize a snake.
