Alligator tempted by frog captured in Indiana pond

-

PLYMOUTH, Ind.—An alligator that was hanging out in a northern Indiana retention pond has been captured after being lured to shore with a frog.

Brandon Crawford of Goshen tells WSBT-TV that he and a friend captured the reptile about 3 a.m. Wednesday and turned it over to police in Plymouth, about 20 miles south of South Bend. Crawford says he’s from Texas, where gator hunting isn’t unusual.

WNDU-TV reports the alligator is 2-3 feet long, and may have been a pet. The reptiles are usually found in the wild in southeaste­rn states and can grow to 13 feet.
