00:00This next one was sent to us by the Bradenton Police Department, just outside of Sarasota.

00:08An officer with the Bradenton PD is in pursuit of this eight-foot alligator, actually less

00:17like a pursuit and more like monitoring the situation from a safe distance.

00:23Is it an alligator or a crocodile?

00:25That's an alligator.

00:27Thankfully, an animal control officer has just arrived.

00:31Correction, it's a pizza delivery.

00:34Which one?

00:35Stop, stop, stop.

00:37There's an alligator underneath that car right there.

00:39I'll call Diana, tell her not to come out.

00:43The neighbor calls Diana, who's waiting for her pizza, and has no idea what's under her

00:48car.

00:49I'm from New York, and I've never seen what you don't want to see.

00:53What do you guys do for that?

00:56I contacted FWC, a trapper should be on the way.

00:59The delivery person contemplates her next move.

01:01Maybe go around the back.

01:02I'm a little scared.

01:04The pizza's getting cold, but I don't think that's her biggest concern.

01:07Do you want to do another concern?

01:09Hey Diana, it's Candy across the street.

01:14It does not come out your front door, there's an alligator there.

01:17Oh, well, I don't know how I'm going to get your payment.

01:19There's always going to come around the back and deliver your pizza.

01:24As the gator watches from the driveway, the officer carefully makes his way towards the

01:30house.

01:31You can stay there.

01:34Just stay there.

01:35Looks like he's in the clear.

01:37But just to be on the safe side, he turns around, careful not to have his back to the

01:44gator.

01:46There's no answer.

01:48Go in the house!

01:50Actually, it sounds like Diana just opened her front door.

01:53Ma'am, get back over there.

01:55There's an alligator right under your car.

01:57Oh my god!

01:59Go in the house!

02:00Oh my family days, there's a big alligator under my car.

02:03Hey ma'am, could you...

02:04Oh my lordy!

02:07Get in the house!

02:09She's literally just feet away from the alligator.

02:11Where's my pizza?

02:13I'll take it to the back door.

02:15Holy shit!

02:17Oh, big old alligator!

02:18The officer returns to the back door.

02:21Here's your pizza.

02:22Look, okay, I'll take it to her.

02:24Yeah, how much was it?

02:25I have no idea.

02:26I'm not the pizza man.

02:28Oh, well you're a policeman.

02:30Yes, I'm a policeman, not a pizza man.

02:32You got it?

02:33Yeah, they called us about the alligator.

02:35Are you expecting change from her?

02:37Did she deliver?

02:38No, they said it was 32 something.

02:40Okay, I'll give this to her so she can leave.

02:42She's the one that delivered?

02:43Yeah.

02:44Now, when was the alligator there?

02:46It just got there.

02:47Well, I'd like to take a picture of it.

02:49Well, and I wouldn't take it from where you were.

02:51Oh, no.

02:52I mean...

02:53As if delivering the pizza wasn't enough,

02:55the officer is now photographing the alligator for her.

03:00He returns the phone to Diana, and with the gator that close,

03:04you might say this officer's more than earned his tip.

03:08Now, just one final detail.

03:10Oh, I've gotten a few out of this neighborhood over the years.

03:12We're moving the alligator.

03:14Oh, my gosh.

03:14The gator's trying her best to break free.

03:19And don't ask me how I know that's a female alligator.

03:22The head is what I'm worried about.

03:23I had to swing an angle.

03:25Finally, the gator's worn out.

03:27So now, all that's left to do before she's taken away is to take her measurements.

03:31I guess depending on the pizza, it might be worth it.

03:38The gator turned out to be eight foot long.

03:40She was safely relocated to the eastern part of Manatee County.

03:44And in case you were wondering, the pizza delivery woman got a whole $7 tip.

03:50Yeah.
