Eugene police officer saves woman from python

April 20th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Eugene police sergeant res­cued a pet shop owner from the coils of a 12′ python.

Teresa Rossiter had reached into a cage Thurs­day to show the huge snake to a cus­tomer when it bit her right hand and coiled around her left arm to throw her to the floor.

A friend who hap­pened to be at the store kept the snake off her neck and body while police were called. And when Sgt. Ryan Nel­son rushed into the store, he was ready to kill the snake with his knife.

But Rossiter asked him to spare the expen­sive python, so Nel­son put on gloves and pried open the snake’s mouth to free Rossiter’s hand.
