LAKELAND, Fla. — Polk County deputies were in for a big, and we mean big, surprise this past Thursday.
They came across a 10-foot, 800-pound alligator walking on a Lakeland sidewalk.
According to a tweet by the Polk County Sheriff's Office, a trapper had to come get the gator from the "residential/school area."
