SEBRING, Fla. (WSVN) — A deputy had to get creative to wrangle a gator at a construction site in Sebring.
The Highlands County Sheriff’s Office deputy responded Sunday after a four-foot long alligator was spotted in the area of the construction site.
The deputy used a PVC pipe and a rain jacket to grab the gator and place it in the back of the patrol car.
The reptile was then taken to a nearby lake, where it was released.
