How many cops does it take to wrangle a baby gator? See for yourself in TX video
The Texarkana Texas Police Department managed to wrangle a baby alligator from under a car in a church parking lot., as churchgoers recorded footage or watched in shock.
“Just your average Wednesday in Texarkana... wrangling an alligator from under a car at Christ Nations Church on Sowell Lane!” the department said in a June 18 Facebook post that shows officers — presumably two with another one to the side, “just in case,” video shows — handling the feisty gator, who looks like they’re fighting for their life.
“Big thanks to our officers (who didn’t sign up for gator duty but handled it like pros) and to the Game Warden for guiding its safe relocation to Bringle Lake.”
Another video was shown in the comment section of the alligator being set free in the water.
People in the comment section were impressed.
“Lol just pick it up with your hands,” one person said. “Just a baby.”
“Alligator just wanted to go to Wednesday night prayer meeting!” another joked.
The department said that there were no gators harmed during the making of this video.
“Everyone’s safe - especially the gator!” the post said.
Texarkana is about a 180-mile drive northeast from Dallas.
