As they approached the apartment, they heard them arguing and knocked on the door, kicking it in after a woman screamed, CBS News reported.

Mayorga tried to close the door, shutting himself and the victim in the apartment, Local 10 News reported.

He was Tasered and resisted arrest, swinging at officers even after being handcuffed and placed in leg restraints, reports said.

The victim told police that Mayorga bit the head off her pet ball python.

“The snake was sitting next to the entry door with its head detached. So, that’s pretty sad,” Judge Mindy S. Glazer said in courtroom video of a bond hearing shared by NBC Miami.
