Officers from Jefferson Parish Sheriff in Louisiana were called to rescue a reptile. After the alligator's mouth was taped shut, it suddenly lifted its head and that scared the cop, making him instinctively jump in the air and scream loudly.
When forces from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff in Louisiana were called in to tackle a reptile, they were a bit nervous. But our everyday heroes defeated it and sealed its jaws and claws — like it’s no big deal. All was fine, till a bit later that has now left everyone on social media ROFL-ing.
A footage of the capture shared by the police shows a cop holding a small crocodile, while another tapes the alligator’s. But as soon as the mission is accomplished the reptile turns and lifts its head up.
The cop, instinctively jumps up and screams out only to realise the alligator’s mouth had already been taped securely, causing everyone – including him – to burst out laughing.
The video’s caught a lot of attention online, with people taking a dig at the young officer – all in good humour, of course. “Our deputies respond to all kinds of calls, from crime to gators! Side note, we’re not sure if our deputy was screaming like that, but it sure sounded like it, haha,” was the caption accompanying the clip.
