My sister and her husband have a house here, and I can attest to the crazy amount of alligators they have on this island. One actually snatched my sister's neighbor's dog a few years ago.

The homeowner told deputies Covert was professional in her salon but was relaxed and excited at her home. She also said Covert brought wine with her that she was drinking throughout her visit.

While working on the porch, Covert saw the alligator and took photos of it. The woman and her husband that live at the residence screamed for her to get away from the alligator as they saw it grab a deer a few days prior, deputies said.

According to the report, Covert said, "I don't look like a deer," and reached to touch the animal when it attacked.

The husband and neighbor threw Covert a rope and she was able to stand in the pond. After stating she would not do that again, she was pulled under again, according to the report.
