Officers were called to the pub at 430 East Kirkwood Avenue at 9:14 p.m.

Flora was arrested on charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct, resisting law enforcement and a felony battery charge.

Flora was booked into Monroe County Jail and is being held on a $2,000 surety, $500 cash bond.

Animal control was called and took possession of the snake.
