Although it took several officers to remove the gator, he was ultimately returned to the wild without incident.
“Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman’s Office responded to an intruder call at a residence near Lake Houston. Upon arrival, deputies were met by a large alligator who made his way into this flooded home. Constables will soon be delivering the alligator back into his natural habitat,” the Constable’s Office wrote on Facebook.
