Rideshare driver in Minneapolis finds boa constrictor in backseat

MINNEAPOLIS — A Twin Cities rideshare driver discovered an unwanted guest in the back of their car on Tuesday evening.

Minneapolis police say the driver reported finding a boa constrictor in their backseat, and “incredibly brave officers” were called in to safely remove the slithering stowaway.

“No snakes, officers, drivers, or passengers were physically harmed,” police wrote in a Facebook post.

Officers couldn’t track down the owner, so the snake is now residing at Minneapolis Animal Care and Control.
