According to reports, Melhaf’s visit to Yosemite began by harassing a pregnant waitress at a restaurant. According to the organization, things only got crazier from there era:

He is being held on $100,000 bail. according to eraIn social media posts, Melhaf refers to himself as “Saint Anthony,” and he and his band appear to view themselves as a religion and their fans as a “congregation.” The description of the band’s music on the band’s own website honestly explains a lot:
The band’s website reads: “Violently spreading the gospel through their unique reptilian powers, Saint Anthony and the Snake Man are sent down from heaven on a divine mission to make all politicians, pedophiles and police officers slowly suffer. “
