CCSO captures ‘massive gator.’ (Credit: CCSO) In what deputies called a “wrestling match,” they captured a 9-foot alligator near a school bus stop in Golden Gate Thursday morning. Collier County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a “massive gator” in a residential neighborhood in Golden Gate Thursday morning. Kids were waiting nearby at their bus stop, but we’re pretty sure this critter wasn’t heading to school, CCSO said in a social media post. Trapper Ray Simonsen, Cpl. Jerrod Carver from the Agricultural Unit and Cpl. Edward Costello got a hold of the 9-ft male alligator so he could be removed. No one was hurt from the incident.
