MAUREPAS, La. (WFLA)— A nine-foot-long alligator was captured by deputies and a Louisiana man after making its way into a home.
Bobby and Susan McKenzie were at their home in Maurepas on March 26 when they heard something scratching.
"I heard some scratching that I thought was inside the house, right behind me in the corner. I went out the door and saw the screen was torn. I walked up to the edge of the porch and I could see the alligator's tail. I ran back inside and saw him from the window," Bobby McKenzie said.
Video from the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office showed the alligator thrashing as deputies were trying to catch it.
The alligator was released into the water after being caught.
