A video shows that an alligator in Georgia was “arrested” and put into a police cruiser after showing up in someone’s yard without permission.
There was a video of the gator’s “arrest” on Facebook on May 25 from the Chatham County Police Department. Things went wrong near Savannah on Friday.
The police said in a Facebook post, “When an unwanted visitor showed up in this neighborhood Thursday evening, our Cpl. Blackledge and Cpl. Stapleton took action.”
“Watch how they captured the gator, wrangled him into the back of a patrol car, and released it back into the wild.”
Officers tapped the gator’s mouth and restrained it with their bodies cameras before putting it in the back of a police car. After that, the animal was seen being let out into the wild.
A lot of people in the neighborhood liked the movie and wrote funny comments about it.
Someone joked, “Did you read him his rights?”
“Bad gator. “I’ve also been in the back of one of those Explorers,” joked someone else.
People in the area praised the cops for being brave in controlling the gator.
“Thank you once more. Someone on Facebook wrote, “You people do a lot of things well.”
“Country boys getting it done,” said another.
The Chatham County Police Department told Fox News Digital that people often see alligators like this in the area.
“There have been several instances in the last few years where our officers have encountered an alligator, and returned it to the wild,” it said. “We’re proud of Corpoals Blackledge and Stapleton for working quickly and calmly to move this gator from a neighborhood and to the Ogeechee River where it belongs.”
“You have to be very brave to hold a gator and tape its mouth shut so it can be moved.” “But the adrenaline really gets going when you take the tape off a gator’s mouth and let it go,” the statement said.
