Jeriel Joiner, the Palm Coast man who was bitten by a pygmy rattlesnake in a St. Augustine Walmart store on Tuesday, was released from the hospital Friday evening. Joiner's fiancee, Rhiannon Gross, said doctors could do little for him except monitor his condition and recovery after the pair opted against a second attempt to administer an antivenin treatment that caused a nearly fatal allergic reaction Tuesday.
