Python scares Salatiga school

SALATIGA, Central Java: An apparently intoxicated student
scared his schoolmates and teachers when he arrived at school
with a five-meter-long python around his neck.

The 17-year-old junior high school student, Brahmantyo,
entered the school's administration office and demanded that he
be given papers for a school transfer.

Teachers immediately called the police who apprehended the
boy.

Talking to journalists at the police station here yesterday
afternoon, Brahmantyo said he did it for attention. "Look, now
I'm being interviewed by local and national journalists. I'm
happy, my name will be in your papers," quipped the mischievous
teenager. (har/mds)
