Watch This Cop Capture A Gator With His Bare Hands

A Florida deputy captured a gator that was attempting to crawl under a fence. In bodycam video released by the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Nicholas Pippin grabbed the gator with his bare hands, taped its mouth shut and secured the 40-pound reptile in the back of his patrol car. The gator was later released into Lake Cecile, about 20 miles southeast of Orlando.
