LUFKIN, Texas — Lufkin police and animal control officers worked together to wrangle a 6-foot alligator on Saturday that was found at a local business.
According to police, the gator was found off Sellers Street. Officer Caleb Forrest served as the alligator roper/wrangler and Officer Christian Ibarra kept his distance while assisting with the "perp walk."
Animal Control Officer Carol Cintula helped with her catcher pole skills and Officer Alisha Holman came in with duct tape for the final assist.
The city of Lufkin officials believe the gator came from Kurth or Ellen Trout Lake. He was safely relocated.
