The job description for police officer in the Cleveland suburb of
Medina, Ohio, probably doesn't mention battling with snakes. But that's
what officers ended up doing earlier this week when they took on a five-
foot boa constrictor that'd worked its way into an apartment via the
plumbing.
Elese Martin told the Cleveland Plain Dealer she called police after
walking into her bathroom to find the reptile half in and half out of
the toilet bowl.
"I screamed loud enough for the whole city to hear," she said.
An apartment maintenance man pulled the snake out of the toilet bowl.
Then police came in and grabbed it by using a noose designed for
handling wild dogs. After getting the critter under control, they took
it outside and killed it.
No one is sure where the snake came from. Police say they suspect it may
have been a pet, but building managers say they would evict any resident
who had kept the reptile in the building.
