    The man who threw a snake at Tim Hortons employees late last year was sentenced this week.

    Christopher Cook, the 21-year-old who made national headlines last year with his snake-tossing stunt, received a conditional discharge with six months of probation for mischief and causing a disturbance, CKOM reported Thursday.

    In December of 2014, Cook and Luke Apooch went to a Saskatoon Tim Hortons restaurant in the city's west end and placed increasingly complicated sandwich orders before throwing a non-poisonous snake over the counter.

    The initial police report said the snake-tossing happened because "the men wanted their onions diced."

    Both men were charged with mischief and causing a disturbance, but only Cook has been sentenced. His co-accused failed to appear in court and now has a warrant out for his arrest, Global News reported.

    Cook has been ordered not to return to the restaurant where he threw the garter snake, and to pay a $500 fine. He has also written a letter of apology.

    If he doesn't get into trouble for the next six months, his criminal record will also be cleared of the snake-throwing.

    Hopefully we all learned a valuable lesson from this.
