said on social media<\/a> that a pair of officers responded to the Franklin Street area when “someone reported a snake camped out atop a car hood.”\n<\/p>\n“Equipped with a snake hook — yes, the sergeant is ever-prepared and carries one in her car — they were able to bravely wrangle the reptilian rascal and take it to a local pet store that will find the boa a proper home,” the post said.<\/p>\n
The 5-foot-long boa constructor appeared to be uninjured, but dehydrated.<\/p>\n
“Talk about an unusual catch of a slithery suspect,” police wrote.<\/p>\n
The snake’s origins were unknown.<\/p>\n
