“I came down to the fire department and reported it to them,” he added.
Witness Terri Williams said, “I would’ve never dreamt that an alligator would be in this area.”
“Of course, I know there’s a lake across the street, and I know about the lake in Taylor Park, but not in this neighborhood. No, I would have never thought that.”
