Intruder Alert!

Around 10:30 p.m. Monday, Sandra Frosti heard an intruder bumping around in her kitchen.
Turns out, the noise was made by an 8-foot, 8-inch alligator that had crawled into the 69-year-old’s kitchen in Eastlake Woodlands.

The female alligator apparently pushed through a screened panel on the back porch, shouldered its way past a potted ficus tree, then got inside the house through an open rear sliding glass door. Once inside, it crawled through the living room, down the hall and into the kitchen.

When Frosti looked into the kitchen, she saw the beast’s head. She called 911 and left the house. Click here for audio of the 911 call.

A trapper removed the gator about 1:30 a.m.
