The Maine Warden Service cited Schoomaker for alleged possession of three tarantulas that are illegal to own in Maine without permits. The other spiders were transferred to a natural science and animal rescue and rehabilitation center in Lewiston, <a href="https://www.sunjournal.com/2020/07/14/tranatulas-seized-from-norway-motel/?utm_medium=webpush&utm_source=browser&utm_campaign=pushnotifications" target="_blank">the Advertiser Democrat reported</a>.</blockquote>
