Florida deputies wrangle and duct-tape a massive gator stalking St. Petersburg school children

Deputies from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office in Florida say they wrangled a monster 12.5-ft alligator away from a creekside path in St. Petersburg on May 14. The harrowing footage shows trappers duct-taping the thrashing gator’s jaws shut, with the help of “fearful but willing” deputies, before the animal was relocated.
