Police in North Carolina were surprised to find an eight-foot-long alligator in the station parking lot on Monday. They wrangled the 'trespasser' and relocated it to a nearby pond.
Police in Sunset Beach, North Carolina, were surprised to find an eight-foot-long alligator hanging out in their parking lot when they arrived at the station on Monday morning. 'Talk about a trespasser!' the department wrote on social media along with photos showing officials wrangling the reptile. The department noted that they are sometimes asked to respond to similar animal control calls, but had never had an alligator come to the station.
' The department said that Sgt. Harden, who is licensed by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission to remove alligators, with the help of staff members was able to wrangle the gator. It was relocated to a nearby pond 'out of concern for the safety of our employees and the alligator.' 'You often hear the saying ‘keep your eyes on your surroundings' and today is a perfect example of why you should always be aware of your surroundings,' the post added.
