Alligator wrangled by police after Texas homeowner mistakes animal for Amazon package

Police were forced to wrangle an alligator from a Texas porch after the homeowner initially mistook the animal for an Amazon package.

Body-cam footage shows officers from Fulshear Police Department approaching the house Wednesday (June 3). The alligator can be seen lying still on the porch while the homeowner watches from behind a screen door.

“I banged into him with the screen door, and I go, ‘I thought it was an Amazon package’, ” the man tells the officers.

The cops were able to capture the reptile and released him back into open waters nearby.
