Summary:
MILFORD, MI – People in a Milford neighborhood lassoed their neighbor’s pet gator when they found it tromping across their yard after it made an escape.
The owner of the 4-foot-long gator named Puff took it back home. The alligator had a small harness around the front of his body, with a broken wire attached. Police were able to reach the owner, who was at a Madison Heights water park with his family, and he arrived about an hour later, taping the alligator’s mouth shut and carrying him home.
