Description
One brave Clearwater police officer came to the rescue after some local business owners got a slithery surprise early Monday morning.
Officer Devin Matheny got a call around 5 a.m. about a snake inside a business on Drew Street near Keene Road. Photos from inside the building show a red-tailed boa constrictor woven around a grate in front of a window.
According to the police department, Matheny didn't hesitate to grab some gloves and a towel to capture the wayward reptile. She singlehandedly corraled the 5-foot boa and took it to the vet in the safety of a cooler.
"If it was a spider, I'm out. But I'm OK with snakes," Officer Matheny said in the department's Facebook post.
