SARASOTA, Fla. – Police in Sarasota pulled an 11-foot alligator out of a swimming pool after it decided to take a late night swim.

So, remember that #gator call we went on earlier? Here’s some video as the trapper pulled him from the swimming pool. Did we mention he measured 11 feet long?! #TweetFromTheBeat #NeverADullMoment #OnlyInFlorida pic.twitter.com/s3DtK3xzPR
