Venice,Fla. (970 WFLA)- FWC Officers are relieved after making one of the biggest captures Sarasota County Deputies can remember. The sheriff's office says a 13-foot alligator was captured Sunday, in Venice at Shamrock Park. A trapper eventually took the gator away.
Animal Services Supervisor Carl Sellitti, Sgt. Tim Bauer and Deputy Rob Lowen assisted with the capture until a trapper arrived to take this big guy away.
According to Supervisor Sellitti who has been with SCSO for 20 years, this may be the largest gator we’ve ever responded to. #PublicSafety #OnlyInFlorida#AllInADaysWork
