Southport North Carolina police officers responded to an emergency call on Thursday of last week when a huge alligator was hiding underneath an auto at the Truist Bank in the parking lot.
The police officers asked help from officers from Southport Animal Services who managed to rescue the alligator and the animal away from the parking lot and look for another place for the alligator to call home.
The animal rescue officers determined that the alligator only suffered minor injuries after an auto may have hit by an auto.

Glad he was rescued but perhaps the alligator had some money to deposit.

You are right since even an alligator has a right to live.

I'm just glad that nobody got hurt by the alligator
That would have been a good story though

I am in agreement with you that alligators are dangerous but not be harmed.
