Deputy saves one-eyed snake he'd met before
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RAYVILLE, La. --The chief deputy of Richland Parish didn't just capture the 8-foot snake that had stopped traffic. He recognized it.
That let Chief Deputy Terry Thompson reunite the one-eyed boa constrictor with its owner, who had lost it when he moved to Rayville in March.
Thompson said when he got to where the snake had been spotted Friday, he was told a driver had tried both to run over the snake and to shoot it.
Another man and his wife stuck around to make sure the snake did, too.
One look told Thompson it wasn't poisonous.
"I caught it by the tail, pulled it out, and picked it up and put it into a pillowcase."
Then he looked it in the face and recognized it.
Last year, Thompson said, Chad Foote brought the snake into the investigators' office to show it off. Foote had recently bought it at a good price because of the missing eye.
A few quick calls, and Foote and his long, lost pet were reunited.
"He said he never thought he would see his snake again," Thompson said.
