When police in Oklahoma, USA, pulled over a man during a traffic stop, never in their wildest dreams would they have expected to find what they did...

A vehicle that had been reported stolen and pulled over by the Guthrie Police Department late on June 26, according to multiple reports.

Upon inspecting the car Police found an open container of Kentucky Deluxe whiskey, a live rattlesnake, a gun and a canister of radioactive powdered uranium.

The driver, identified as 40-year-old Stephen Jennings, has a valid fishing and hunting license in Oklahoma that would allow him to have the snake.

And bizarrely police said the uranium  it wasn't anything to worry about. In fact, it is legal to purchase it in some states...

"It was nothing we were concerned of as far as him using it as a weapon of mass destruction. It's very low radioactivity," Sgt. Anthony Gibbs told NBC News.

Jennings joked with officers that he had the items in his car because he was planning to create a "super snake," Fox News reported. He then explained that the uranium was related to his work scrapping metal.

Jennings was arrested and charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, transporting an open container of liquor, operating a vehicle with a suspended license, and failure to carry a security verification form.

He remained jailed in Logan County, NBC News reported.
