California police recover 'abandoned' 10-foot python from vehicle after police chase
View Date:2024-12-23 16:22:32
California police officers took home a 10-foot python after a late-night chase in the Bay Area on Friday.
Vallejo Police took to social media to document the moment, writing on X, formerly Twitter, that they had recovered the "abandoned" nonvenomous snake from a vehicle they had worked to chase down.
Multiple local agencies, including Vallejo Police, were in the area to disrupt a sideshow, an "illegal gathering in which groups of drivers take over intersections, city streets, stretches of busy freeways and/or parking lots to do tricks with their cars, including burnouts and doughnuts," according to reporting by the Sacramento Bee.
Vallejo is located in the Bay Area, about 32 miles from San Francisco.
Vallejo Police said they initiated the "pursuit" after people in a Cadillac CT6 pointed lasers at a California Highway Patrol helicopter.
"It concluded in Hercules with 4 arrests and an abandoned 10-ft python," Vallejo Police said.
USA TODAY has reached out to the Vallejo Police Department for additional information.
