A man delivering newspapers at 5 a.m. Monday heard an unusual sound as he got out of his truck to retrieve a misthrown newspaper.
He walked between two parked cars and saw a 4-foot alligator.
"He kind of lunged at me and hissed," said Bobby Kish, 46. "His mouth was open; I was about five feet away. It was enough to get my attention."
Kish jumped back in his car, drove to the Pottstown Borough police station and told the dispatcher, who sent officers to the scene.
Cpl. Jamie O'Neill grabbed the alligator from behind and secured its jaws with duct tape.
The animal was taken in a patrol wagon to the county prison, where it was logged in as "Al E. Gator."

That is why I always look out the window before I open the front door.
I doubt he is smart enough to understand a doorbell. He likely is just searching to eat something.
This was not the Penna gator.

With the rapidly expanding bear and mountain lion populations, I now also look twice before opening a door or a window on the ground floor.

A four footer is a baby, anywhere. We call them ditch lizards.
