Gator (Continued from page lA) had seen indications it had taken up residence. Hoke Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to the scene but didn’t appear to know exactly what to do with the ferocious-looking reptile, residents said. At one point the gator swatted a county vehicle, the tail leav ing a noticeable dent. (How did they explain that to the insurance com pany?) Antioch firefighters later dis patched the creature into a wooded area with fire hoses. The gator did not go gently; it bellowed, swung its head and tail and snapped at the stream of water, evok ing squeals from some in a gathering crowd of onlookers. You’ll get stuck on this web!

Kirk Lowery, who lives nearby, is not comfortable having an al 1 igator as a neighbor. “I want somebody to catch him,” he said, ‘“cause he’s right down there and he’s huge,” indicating the pond beyond a wooded area near his house. “If he gets hungry, he’s going to look for food,” Lowery said.

There is another large alligator in the community of Wagram, just over the Scot land County line, Lowery said. “He stops traffic,” he added.
