A poisonous snake in a tree has bitten a customer at a home improvement store in North Carolina.
A spokeswoman for Lowe's Companies Inc. said in an email Tuesday that a customer was bitten in the outdoor lawn and garden center Monday at a store northwest of Charlotte.
The East Lincoln Fire Department had said in a Facebook post that the copperhead bit an employee.

Lowe's spokeswoman Karen Cobb said employees called 911 and searched for other snakes. Cobb said no others were found but a pest control company has been called to check.
She says the company doesn't know how the snake got into the garden center.
