Venice, Fla. (970 WFLA)- Luckily, these homeowners took a second look before jumping in to kick off their Memorial Day.
Sarasota Deputy Lori Clark was first to respond to the Plantation neighborhood where this healthy 7-8 foot gator was at the bottom of a family's swimming pool.
MyFWC also responded and called out a trapper who will relocate the gator to a safer and more "appropriate" location.
