On Friday, Oct. 15, officers said they were dispatched to a North Carolina neighborhood about a complaint of an alligator walking through a neighborhood, even attempting to enter the community pool area.

Police said when they arrived they found the 9-foot gator had broken through the porch lattice of the neighborhood’s reservation office.

While relocating the large alligator, police snapped a picture of it being walked on a long rope.
