A mountain lion was spotted Wednesday night in the parking lot of a Hobby Lobby in Parker.

Police received a call on a report of the big cat, and a sergeant with the Parker Police Department snapped a photo.

The lion went through the Hobby Lobby lot, 10901 S. Parker Road, just off Mainstreet, Parker police said on Facebook.

Cops and Colorado Parks and Wildlife rangers, who were also called to the scene, kept an eye on the lion for about 20 minutes. The animal ran off into open space.
