The Texarkana Texas Police Department had an interesting situation. This is from their Facebook Page:
We got a call about an alligator running around a property on St. Michael Drive the other day.
As you might have guessed, this was a new one on us, but we came up with a plan to deal with the problem. However, things were a little hairy for a while, because the alligator really wasn’t on board with our plan at all. Actually, he wasn’t having any of it. At one point, Officer Dewey Fleming discovered just how fast he could move when the alligator suddenly expressed his displeasure and lunged at him.
Thankfully, we were able to eventually corral it with the help of a game warden, who loaded it up and relocated it to a more suitable location far, far, far away from town.
Hopefully, it’ll be a while before we have another alligator call.
