Gator Sighting

So I went all the way to Florida to spot an alligator and wouldn't you know it, one was caught up in Erie?!

Some local fisherman had quite a scare on Sunday when they found a live alligator in Elk Creek. Lake City firefighters captured the gator near the boat ramp at the creek.

Animal experts believe the three foot reptile was released into the creek by its owners.

The alligator was not injured while it was being recovered; it has since been given to a reptile expert to be studied.
