PCSO Deputy Goolsby responded to a wildlife call with his Deputy Trainee Gonzalez-Gomez Wednesday evening (Sept 4) in the Dees Road\/US 98 area of Lakeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When deputies got there, they captured a young gator who had been hiding under a family’s vehicle in their driveway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deputy Goolsby reported that this was his trainee’s first alligator arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
