Tuesday, authorities charged a man from New York City with smuggling three Burmese pythons into the United States from Canada.

According to a statement from the Department of Justice, the allegations brought against Bautista are merely accusations; however, if convicted, Bautista faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
