May 14 (UPI) -- Police in Ohio said a report of "unwanted slithering" in a Westlake neighborhood resulted in the detention of a ball python.

The Westlake Police Department said on social media that officers "never know what the day will bring," and Monday's call was especially unusual.

Officers responded after "receiving a complaint of unwanted slithering" and found a ball python wandering loose, the post said.
