Gator-Wrangling Cops in Hot Water

Two Florida police officers are in trouble for taking on an 8-foot alligator on their own, instead of calling in a professional trapper. They were called to a home, finding the gator in a breezeway, captured it, and later released it into a lake. Florida F&W state that any such gators over 4 foot should be killed as nuisance gators.
