Florida woman arrested for drowning her roommate's spider in ginger ale (I promise this really happened!)
· Aug 6, 2024 · NottheBee.com

Renae Rasmussen of Okaloosa County, Florida, was arrested for drowning her roommates spider. I'm not joking. This is a real story.

And before we get all judgmental about this heinous crime, I think we should remember the heart of our Lord in this matter.

Let the one who has not killed a spider, throw the first stone.

... No one?

Here's the very brief scoop:

An Okaloosa County woman was arrested Monday after she allegedly drowned her roommate's pet spider, according to the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office.

I'll just say it: The fewer spiders there are in the world, the better.

Of course, there are some other details in the case that might be worth considering:

  1. It was her roommate's pet jumping spider

  2. This was a $70 spider.

  3. Rasmussen admitted to submerging the spider in ginger ale until it died.

Okay, that last point is a little psycho.

For using ginger ale as a deadly weapon, Rasmussen was charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty and petty theft.

And now ginger ale will just never taste the same.
