SASKATOON – One of two men charged after a bizarre crime in Saskatoon has been sentenced. Back on Dec. 18, 2014, a snake was tossed over the counter of the Tim Hortons’ on 22nd Street West near Avenue F.

Police said it happened after a dispute over diced onions.

Officers were able to catch the non-venomous garter snake – who police named Outlaw – and no one was physically injured.

Christopher Cook was charged with mischief and causing a disturbance.

On Thursday, Cook was given a six-month conditional sentence and ordered not to go back to the store. He is also required to pay a $500 surcharge.

His lawyer told the court that Cook also wrote a letter of apology to Tim Hortons and donated $500 to a charity.
