Sven Koppler arrested in US!

[Peter Lacey]

I can't believe he's managed to get himself arrested for this. Always been a helpful guy that provides healthy captive bred tarantula.
I hope he finds a way out of this as the punishment seems rather harsh.

does anyone know how accurate this is, as we all know the press can distort things a little

As the case is not finalised and Sven's only being held at present I'm going to close this thread (as other forums have and will be doing) untill there's a legal outcome.

The link is still available to view for those that wish to get the story so far, any further posts regarding this matter will be deleted to save the topic becoming out of hand again.
