May 7 (UPI) — A West Virginia police officer pulled double-duty as a snake charmer when a “grumpy” serpent was noticed wandering into morning rush visitors.
The Charleston Police Department mentioned in a Facebook submit that Patrolman D. Johnson, “one of many greatest animal lovers round,” rushed into motion when “a snake of some kind (we’re not snake specialists, however he was wild) was having a case of the Mondays downtown throughout the morning rush.”

Johnson safely captured the snake and moved it away from the risks of visitors.
“He picked the grumpy fellow up and humanely relocated him to the woods, the place he may hopefully have a greater day,” the submit mentioned.
Johnson mentioned he was completely happy to assist the scaly citizen.
“It was fairly intense, and I used to be fairly amped up,” Johnson informed WSAZ-TV. “It was like, ‘Hey, I get to do what I usually do, go catch snakes,’ like when I’m out tenting and stuff. I’m at all times touring round, at all times on the lookout for completely different animals. Animals haven’t got a voice, and I’m attempting to be their voice.”
