Davenport, Fla. — A St. Louis family got an extra visitor on their annual trip to Florida : A 7-foot alligator in their pool.
The Davenport County Sheriff’s office was called early Wednesday after a family found a massive alligator swimming in their pool.
The family is from St. Louis. They a residing in a 7 bedroom vacation resort in the very popular Davenport area. Most of these resorts has their own personal pool and jacuzzi hot tub, that by law is fenced in.
So you’re asking how this alligator get in?
According to the post, Deputy Lori Clark responded to the family’s call they received. “Ma’am please get here as soon as possible. I am shaking in my boots. I’ve seen some big things in my lifetime, hell lately when I look on the mirror including myself but this one here is a hot diggety dog winner. FLAT OUT!”, said Jermaine Wilhite Sr. , father of 3, who was glad his children didn’t find the alligator first, but wish his wife did.
“Oh my word. After today I won’t ever eat alligator again, but I was really thinking of how many purses and shoes I could get.” , Leslie M. , who did not want to give her last name but is the one who booked the resort using her last name.
There was a small whole actually in the protection netting that surrounds the pool. ” I thought I was dreaming, or this was pay back for the $3 tip I left the other day.”, states Jessica Jones.
The family is safe. No one was harmed not even the alligator. Authorities immediately called in a trapper who rescued the “healthy alligator in minutes”.
