Louisiana officer mauled by gator, jaws had to be pried open

Fox News
An alligator about five feet long clamped down on a Louisiana deputy's arm Monday, forcing other officers to pry the beast’s jaw open to free the deputy, reports said.
St. Charles Parish sherriff deputies and a nuisance animal officer responded to a home in the town of Luling where an alligator was spotted roaming through the backyard, according to a report by the St. Charles Herald Guide.
One of the deputies was detaining the gator and tried to tape its mouth shut before it managed to break free. The alligator took a bite out of the deputy’s arm before another deputy jumped on top of the animal.
The team was able to then pry the alligator’s mouth open. The injured deputy was transported to University Medical Center where he was treated for deep lacerations and puncture wounds in his right arm before being released.

At least it's not a headline about Louisiana ranking number 49 or 50 in some statistic.

Sensationalism at its best.

Sounds like something that would happen in Florida, but I’m not surprised

I once had gator. I’m so glad this wasn’t me.

Louisiana ranks 49th amongst all states where you’re least likely to be mauled by an alligator.

At least it was a small gator that couldn't really hurt the guy. Not much more than a big lizard.

Geese are the Gypsies of the waterfowl world. Or Mormons. It can go either way.

I don't know why this strikes me as hilarious.
