FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. - There's more than one way to catch an alligator – but leave it to the officials!
The Flagler County Sheriff's Office stepped in to help remove and relocate a baby alligator from someone's driveway over the weekend. Deputies' methods for wrangling this gator were a bit different from a previous alligator sighting over the weekend, but the outcome was the same.
In photos shared on Facebook, deputies are seen using a trash can to guide the baby gator to a nearby canal.
"This not only shows the resourcefulness of our deputies, but also that there’s more than one way to catch a gator!" the post said.
