CLEARWATER, Fla. — Hey, this isn't your home. 

Earlier this month, a Clearwater police officer wrangled an alligator casually hanging in a pool at a home in the Countryside area of Clearwater.

"Cops in Florida are a different breed," Clearwater Police Department said in a news release.

On May 12, Officer Kyle Bingham single-handedly captured the 5-and-a-half-foot gator at a home on Saber Drive and it was later released into Lake Chautauqua nearby.
