We couldn't put this slithery guy in handcuffs, but CBPD’s Chief and Sergeant were able to take a snake into custody after he crawled out from under the hood of a resident’s car onto the windshield.

Our Officers are often asked what they like best about Police work......this is definitely not it…. 🐍 🚓
