STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. (WDCW) – Virginia authorities said a Goodwill employee recently discovered a 4-foot snake in a box of donated books.

“No snakes, employees, or deputies were harmed during the incident,” the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) said in a news release.

The captain of animal control responded to a Goodwill, located at 72 Doc Stone Road, after a 4-foot-long basilisk was found slithering in a box of donated books.

Stafford Sheriff officials couldn’t resist adding in a Harry Potter reference while explaining what happened to the “Slytherin Suspect.”

“Using his powers of persuasion, and a bit of Parseltongue” the captain was able to capture the snake and release it into the wild again, SCSO said.

It’s not clear how the reptile ended up in the box, but it goes without saying that live snakes are not accepted donations at the Virginia Goodwill, along with flammables, guns, old TVs, mattresses and broken furniture, among other items.

How to watch TCU vs. Virginia women’s Sweet 16: Time, TV, stream

The NCAA Women’s Tournament Sweet 16 round continues Saturday, March 28, with a matchup between No. 3-seed TCU and No. 10-seed Virginia at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.

The game tips off at 4:30 p.m. PT (7:30 p.m. ET, ABC).

No. 3 TCU is fresh from a nail-biting victory against No. 6-seed Washington in a final score, 62-59, during the Women’s NCAA Tournament Round of 32 on March 22.

The Horned Frogs were led behind a near triple-double from senior guard Olivia Miles who posted 18 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. Clara Silva chipped in with 16 points and eight rebounds for TCU. Taylor Bigby added 15.

No. 10 Virginia is still riding momentum from their second round upset, a win against No. 2-seed Iowa, 83-75, on March 23.

The Cavaliers were paced by junior guard Kymora Johnson, who posted a game-high 28 points. Johnson and senior guard Paris Clark provided the bulk of scoring for Virginia. Clark could hardly miss as she added 20, herself. She shot 70% from the field, including 3-of-4 from three.

No. 10 Virginia will take on No. 3 TCU in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament on Saturday, March 28. Here’s how to watch the Women’s March Madness action.
