We aren't sure if this little guy got locked out of his room at the Quality Inn in Sebring this afternoon or what," the post said. "Maybe he was just looking for the tiki bar to get a margarita, but he didn't look like he was old enough to drink and didn't appear to have any ID in his alligator skin wallet."

The sheriff's office said the alligator was "cornered by a licensed trapper and taken away."
