Florida sheriff busts alligator swimming in resident's pool

Aug. 30 (UPI) -- A roughly 8-foot alligator was found taking leisurely dip in a Florida resident's pool on Wednesday morning.

Hillsborough County Sheriff's office shared photos of the large gator as it lounged at the bottom of a backyard swimming pool.

"Deputies on scene now, apprehension of this trespassing suspect should be interesting," the sheriff's office said. "Alligator in residential pool."

Deputies confirmed that the gator was between 7 and 8 feet long and contacted local wildlife officials to remove it from the residence.

"A licensed [Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission] trapper is enroute to the scene," the sheriff's office said.
