'Godzilla' Captured in Shopping Center Parking Lot

SUGAR LAND, Texas - Alligator hunter Christy Kroboth and an officer tried to tie up a giant, 12 and a half-foot, 800 pound, 50-year-old alligator. His eyes were covered up, but he wanted nothing of the capture.

Kroboth said, “We tried to do a front catch with him where you hold jaws and get him taped. But he was so big his jaws were too big for my hands. I couldn't get my hands to fit around his mouth."

Kroboth, licensed with the state (and a dental assistant by day), got the call from Sugar Land police early Saturday morning. Employees discovered the big gator when they arrived to work. It was in the back parking lot where the workers park their vehicles. Authorities said it may have wandered over from the creek.

“We tried several different attempts on how to catch him. Finally we thought we had wore him out enough to put two people on the back of him and kinda outweigh him which clearly did not work," Kroboth said.
