A Charleston West Virginia Police Officer who uses the last name Johnson who is a specialist in dealing with snakes answered an emergency call last Monday to rescue a snake that was crawling in the downtown streets of Charleston during rush hour. Officer Johnson was able to capture the snake and take the animal away from the rush hour traffic and safely take the snake to a wooded area so the snake can feel at home without being in any danger of being run over by automobiles. I guess that some police officers have the ability to deal with animals that trespass their way from their home and into streets or buildings worldwide. It is better for a police officer to deal with saving a snake from being harmed than dealing with a dangerous human being who is committing a crime since the snake did not harm the police officer who rescued him on the streets of Charlestown.

I didn't think Virginia had snakes. Maybe it was a pet.

Neither did I realize that some police officers are trained dealing with snakes myself.

That is one multi-skilled police officer, who deals with more than one type of snake, not just in the grass, but on the road too.
