Officers work together to capture large alligator near local middle school
A seven-foot long alligator found roaming near a Dallas middle school has been captured and is now residing comfortably at an animal reserve. Dallas Animal Services, Dallas Police and a state Game Warden responded to the alligator report Tuesday night.
Officers were eventually able to subdue the reptile with an animal control pole, but not without a struggle. One bent and twisted pole later, the officers finally secured its head, allowing the Game Warden to lock its jaws and tie up its arms.
The group then loaded it in the Warden’s truck so it could be taken and released safely at the reserve.
