Reptile rescue

Given what must be one of the stranger calls for assistance he’s ever received, SPD Officer Chris Tomford works to free a trapped bull snake with the assistance of Kyle Proctor. Rick and Kyle Proctor discovered the snake trapped in garden netting while working on their dad’s property. Since the Game Warden was unavailable, the Sundance Police Department was called in to assist. They were able to cut the snake loose and release it back into the wild.
