FULSHEAR, Texas — A police department in Texas recently released videos showing an officer’s response to a family’s uninvited reptilian houseguest, Click2 Houston reported.

Occupants of a vehicle sprayed water on officers as they drove by a traffic stop in progress; one male passenger told the police “he meant to scare them”

The trainer was standing in front of Lt. Rodney Osborne to give him additional instructions when he pulled the trigger, hitting Osborne just above his protective vest

The court ruled an earlier proceeding violated the victim’s family’s rights; the justices said that Syed, who was freed in 2022, can remain free as the case heads to a new judge

Lieutenant Bill Henry of the Fulshear Police Department responded to remove a small alligator from a resident’s front porch, according to the report.

As shown in the body camera footage, when Henry arrived at the residence, he was directed to the front porch where the alligator was found next to the welcome mat.

“I’ve got a pole but this one’s kind of small, so I got it,” Henry is heard saying in the video, opting to handle the situation without additional equipment.

Henry managed to pick up the alligator with his bare hands and removed it from the property.

“Look at you, you’re a hero,” one resident can be heard commenting as he carried the alligator away.

“You can take the boy out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the boy,” The Fulshear Police Department stated in reference to Henry’s hands-on approach.
