Sulphur, LA: Gator rescued from Sulphur residence

SULPHUR, LA (KPLC) –

Franklin Foote has lived in his Sulphur neighborhood for years, and has never had a scare like the one he had Thursday morning.

“The sitter who sits with my wife on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s came in telling me there was something big in my garage” said Foote. “I said well is it a dog or a cat and she said no it’s bigger than that”.

Bigger than a dog and cat together, a 7-foot alligator made it’s way onto Foote’s carport and showed no signs of leaving.
“I went around and got to the front of my car and saw maybe two feet of it’s tail and I knew then what it was” said Foote.

Foote called 911, who instructed him to call the Sheriff’s department, who instructed him to call Calcasieu Parish Alligator Nuisance Rescuer, Randall Hebert.

“Whenever I got there the deputies already had them corralled” said Hebert. “So basically, all I did was load him up and brought him to relocate him” he added.
