This fella was captured in Meteorologist Joe Haynes’ yard in Bossier City, Louisiana on Monday. 

Oh sure, Joe came to work with a dramatic tale about how the gator was “put down” by wildlife experts who were afraid the 8-foot reptile would return to devour pets and children in the neighborhood.  

That was our Joe, the environmentalist.

 But what really happened to the big lizard?   

 ”All in a day’s work.  Being a KTBS Meteorologist, I can wrassle an 8 foot gator in the morning and then wear my new belt and shoes to do the 5 pm weather.”

That’s what we thought!  Upon further questioning, Joe’s meteorologist, Texas A&M geek-like exterior began to crumble as some rarely seen Ninja Weather Guy emerged and  started throwing around words like, “…we rolled for hours, the gator biting me…finally, I pinned him like a spot on a map!”

This is much more than a ‘pesky upper level low’….and Joe knows it. 

What do you think happened to that gator?
