Florida officers hilariously arrest alligator at 104-year-old woman's home: 'Leave the grandmas alone'
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A 5-foot alligator was hilariously put under arrest after it was removed by officers from the home of a 104-year-old woman in Jacksonville.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office shared video of the gator removal on social media last week, which shows Officers Kopp and Johnson responding to the home near Atlantic Boulevard and Art Museum Drive and removing the nuisance gator from the home.
