Body camera video of Boulder officers removing a snake from inside a home
By: \-----
Police officers in Boulder recently helped remove a “very large” snake from inside a resident’s home – and the process was captured on body camera video. The video, which the Boulder Police Department shared on social media Thursday, shows a snake several feet in length slithering in front of what appears to be a fireplace in a living area of a home. Officers appear to move through multiple rooms of the house in pursuit of the snake before eventually ushering it into an orange bucket.
They cover the bucket with a broken-down cardboard box before walking it out the front door.“It may not have been a usual type of police call, but we’re glad we could help our community—human and scaley,” the police department wrote in a social media post. One officer who could be heard on the body camera video had some fun with the call.“Code 5 with one snake,” she quips near the end of the video, in an in-jest reference to the police radio call for a stakeout operation.
