Python's meal of radio collar helps cops
The radio-tracking device led investigators to a house in Heathbridge, where police found the python and arrested a 30-year-old man, The West Australian reported.
The snake was discovered in the Narrogin bush by Department of Environmental Conservation researchers tracking a radio-collared woylie, a small endangered marsupial. By the time they found the woylie, it was inside the snake, along with its collar and tracking device.
The 6-foot snake was brought to the Woodvale Research Center to make sure it had not been harmed by its meal. The snake was stolen from the lab last weekend and recovered Thursday, with the radio-tracking device still inside and sending out signals.

The previous sentence sounds like the research lab swallowed the marsupial. No wonder I can't get my college writing classes to use good grammar...the news people won't, either!
Thanks Goddard for your comment. I was beginning to think I was the only person on the face of the earth that has a problem with the journalists today and the lack of proper grammar they use! It is very comforting to know that someone else pays attention to their mistakes!
