CBS Dallas/Fort Worth May 21, 2021 Fulshear police officers captured an alligator "attempting to sunbathe near a residential home," and detailed the incident via their Facebook page. In a somewhat tongue-in-cheek Facebook post, officers said the alligator was "detained after a brief struggle." They then relocated it to a nearby lake. "Sergeant Henry safely relocated the alligator and told him 'See you later…' as he scurried off into the lake," read the post. "There was a moment of silence and disappointment thinking the alligator would respond to what he thought was a witty remark. Back-up officers agreed with the suspect. Crickets."
