Aug. 28 (UPI) -- Police in Texas said a large snake caught trespassing at an Austin car wash was released back into the wild with "a stern talking-to" but "no tickets issued."

The Austin Police Association said on social media that officers "encountered a slippery suspect" at an Xpress Car Wash in the city.

Police wrote the snake was attempting "to make a 'hiss-terical' getaway."
