Thick Skinned Customers

And They Were Really Snappy ,Too

Police and US Marshals in Ohio called for back-up from animal control when they went to the home of a suspected probation violator and found two alligators instead. Deputy US Marshal Joshua Hillard said people in the house told him the suspect wasn't home but invited the officers in. That's when they found the gators. Animal control officers was called, and an expert grabbed the reptiles.

FOOTNOTE: Gator aid.

  7. Hi Alex,

    Yep, salties are another matte altogether. (For non-Aussie readers, a ``salty'' is a saltwater crocodile - VERY cranky and bad-tempered!!)

  11. Boy, you've got everyone going on the puns now don't 'cha, David?
    To heck with the question as to "Why would anyone have an alligator -or croc -in Ohio. Why on earth would ANYONE have either/or anyplace other than in the swamps of Florida, and other southern places, where they damned well belong?
    Gives me the shivers!

  18. Did they just have them as pets? Wandering about the house?

    Some people have strange tastes...now if they were raising them to make alligator sausage with - that would be a different story altogether..

  20. The croc's parent should be sued for not teaching their offspring to never snap at a police officer!
