A police officer’s life is no doubt a hard one. While fighting crime for a living comes with its fair share of surprises and shocks, some days are just more uncommon than the other individuals. And not too long ago, the officers of the Polk County in Florida had been in for one such fascinating day when they met with a rather uncommon visitor in the front yard of a home. No, it was not a masked intruder or a miscreant as one may perhaps think about, but a 5.5-foot-lengthy alligator that the two deputies had been up against. And prior to you be concerned about how it ended, we ought to assure you that the deputies had been profitable in rescuing the reptile.
The development was shared on Twitter by the official manage of the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. It seemed like just a further day at work when the Sherrif announced that a deputy officer had worked with members of the fire division to save a kitten. Sharing a photo of the 3-member rescue group with a seemingly bewildered kitten, the tweet study, “All in a night’s work! Dep Hopkins and friends from My Davenport Fire rescued this tiny kitten from a drainpipe after Hopkins crawled into a manhole.” And in an further note that made the world-wide-web crack up, the Sherrif added, “He’s had his shots and already been adopted (the kitten, not the dep).”
And just when the kitten rescue seemed to be the highlight of the day, came the news of the alligator that was sighted on the front porch of a residence. Sharing a photo of the alligator resting on the back seat of the police automobile just after it was rescued, the tweet mentioned, “Not to be outdone by a kitten rescue, Deputies Hardy and Ferguson apprehended this 5.5-foot intruder from a family’s porch in Eagle Lake yesterday and relocated him to Lake McLeod. They were sure to say ‘see ya later’.”

Despite the officer mentioning that the alligator was released into the lake just after the rescue operation, a number of social media customers had been insistent that the replied be “freed”. One user mentioned, “Free my boy he did nothing,” even though a further mentioned, “Free my man he ain’t do nothing.”
