HOUMA, La. (WGNO) — Houma police officers responded to a service call that they said wasn’t routine for them.
On Sunday, May 26, Houma Police Department Officer Donald Aubrey responded to a call of a “very large snake” in a home’s backyard.
In a post on social media, officers said that with skill and care, Aubrey safely detained the python, causing it no harm.
