Deputies from Lee County in Florida answered an emergency call from residents in the Tortuga community on Friday May 9 when an alligator was knocking on the fron door of residents with a folding chair on the head of the animal.
Lee County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) deputies with the help of a professional trapper were able to capture the animal without any harm to the animal and relocate the alligator to another area away from the residents of the Tortuga neighborhood.

@Deepizzaguy that is good. I hope the alligator did not get any wounds or injuries because of that

Maybe he got disoriented by the heat.

Alligators must be living nearby, and that must be a bit scary for residents, living so close to alligators. I would not like that myself. It was good it was moved away, but the rest of its family might still be around.

Oh my goodness! I'm glad they were able to free the alligator of the chair and send him to a better area.

Wow what a clever alligator using a chair to knock on people's doors..
Of I was trying to capture it I would be more worried about it hurting me than me hurting it
