School Resource Officer Helps Wrangle Alligator Outside Florida Middle School
Did this reptile think it was late for class? A school resource officer helped wrangle an alligator outside a Florida middle school.
When teachers and students saw this gator outside their school, they did the right thing: they called their school resource officer. Yeah, he’s in charge of the safety of the school but this unnamed resource officer brought some more skill to this situation. He used to be an alligator trapper!
The officer receives some assistance from a K-9 deputy from the Lee County Sheriff’s office and they wrangled this seven-foot gator! Here’s the footage of the alligator getting removed from this Florida school by these fearless heroes:

Alligators Love The Golf Course Too!
Gators and the golf course go hand in hand like burgers and fries. Just to be safe, especially in Florida, always assume there is a gator or a croc in any body of water.
