LOUDON CO., Tenn. (WVLT) - Loudon County Sheriff’s Office officials took to Facebook to celebrate one of their deputies who had a unique call in the past week.
K-9 Deputy Eric Curtis found himself in quite a predicament a few nights ago. A resident found a corn snake inside her kitchen cabinets, and Curtis responded to the call.
He came face-to-face with the snake, later named Karen the Corn Snake, before he captured it and released it.
LCSO officials jokingly wrote that the deputy took the snake into custody after a brief struggle.
“Our deputies pride themselves with going above and beyond their normal duties, some you could say, are braver than others,” LCSO officials said.
