Snake rescued from glue trap in Stafford County

Stafford County Sheriff’s Office: “He was caught in a trap, he couldn’t walk out, but fortunately Deputy O.J. Martins came to the rescue.”

“Yesterday at 6:48 p.m. Deputy Martins responded to a residence in Ferry Farms for a slithering suspect stuck in a storage area. She arrived to find Elvhiss Presley attached to a glue trap that had been left by the home’s former tenants.”

“Realizing ‘It’s Now or Never’ Deputy Martens went to work to free Elvhiss. Approximately an hour later Elvhiss was free of the trap, cleaned up and released back to the wild to hunt rodents.”

“‘Don’t Be Cruel,’ explore humane methods to prevent a rodent or snake invasion of your home such as eliminating food sources and sealing any openings around the outside of the residence.”
