OLDSMAR, Fla. -- A 69-year-old woman found an 8-foot-long alligator roaming in her home's kitchen Monday night, police said.
Sandra Frosti said the alligator must have pushed through the back porch screen door and gone inside through an open sliding glass door. It then walked through the living room, down a hall and into the kitchen.
A trapper with Animal Capture of Florida removed the alligator, which had been cut when a plate was knocked to the ground.
No one inside the house was injured.
One-Handed Man Wrestles Gator
Earlier this month, a one-handed trapper in Florida roped and wrestled a 6-foot alligator out of a Florida retention pond that apparentl posed a risk to neighbors.
The wildlife official was called to remove the gator Monday near a neighborhood in Palm City near West Palm Beach.
The trapper was able to drag the reptile to the edge of the pond before jumping on it.
The alligator was seen on video trying to spin away but the man was able to tape its jaws shut.
It was then placed into a pickup and removed from the area.
Local 6 reported that the gator trapper did not lose his hand to another gator.

“A trapper with Animal Capture of Florida removed the alligator, which had been cut when a plate was knocked to the ground.”
I’m guessing it was dropped by the homeowner as she walked into the kitchen and said “oh s#@t!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The Gators population is growing so fast that one cannot go into any water area and not find them. Watch your pets and children as they will make lunch of them as well as you if they get the chance. Just saw a 12 foot one playing golf had to leave my ball by the pond.

"The Gators population is growing so fast that one cannot go into any water area and not find them." What about small ocean bay areas? I just returned from Florida where I walked down a long, winding dirt road that was sandwiched between an ocean bay area on the left and a small river (or stream) on the right. Believe it was called 'Bear Point' in Hutchinson Island area. As I walked all I could picture was a gator darting out from either side; but I never saw one. Thank You God.

A cajun girl would have that little critter skined and stuffed in the freezer and been tanning the hide before anyone knew about it.
