Three police officers in Texas were filmed wrangling an alligator at a Walmart parking lot on Thursday morning. In a dramatic video, shared by the Aransas Pass Police Department on Facebook, three cops were seen subduing a massive 8-foot alligator that had made its way to the supermarket parking lot. The department wrote that the angry gator had come to there from a nearby pond.
According to local reports, the alligator was spotted by a customer shopping at Walmart who called authorities.
"Officers found this little 8-foot guy trying to sneak out of the pond for an after midnight shop at Walmart this morning," wrote the police department while sharing a video of the alligator.

The gator is now in the custody of Texas Parks and Wildlife.
This isn't the first time that a gator has made its way to a supermarket. In February this year, cops in Florida were faced with a similar situation after they found themselves facing an agitated alligator in a grocery store parking lot.
Last year, a woman in Texas had found two alligators swimming in her flooded backyard.
