JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (WSVN) — An alligator paying a woman a visit on her patio Easter weekend met its match when the local animal trapper captured it in a trash can.
The woman was letting her dog outside her Jacksonville home when she noticed a seven- to eight-foot-long alligator hiding behind a garbage bin.
Local animal trapper Mike Dragich came to the rescue, cancelling his Easter dinner plans and improvising by using a trash can to catch the reptile.
The alligator was then safely removed from the area.
