Resident Ethan Shear told KHOU, "I turn the corner I hear a guy scream 'watch out,' and there's a cobra, and I just back up," said Shear. "I may have let out an expletive or two."

Police were eventually called in and after a few hours, they were able to use a broom to gain control of the serpent long enough to stuff it in a bag.  The snake was then turned over to Animal Control.

It's unclear who owns the snake or where it came from.

There were no injuries reported.
