Bibb County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a call of an alligator spotted near the levee road in Central City Park just before 7:15 a.m. Monday morning. Deputy Clay Williams and Animal Welfare Officer Bruce Rozier were able to catch the gator which was about 4 feet in length. After loading the gator into the Animal Welfare truck, the gator was taken to a remote location away from the Park and released. Other than being a little agitated, the gator was not harmed.
The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind you that if you do come across an alligator or other wild animal, do not try to catch the reptile or animal yourself. Contact the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office at 478-751-7500.
