SHREVEPORT, La. — Deputies with the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office in Shreveport said they were unable to apprehend a dangerous “suspect” Monday.
The suspect – an eight-foot alligator – was spotted in the middle of Hwy. 1 in the hills of north Caddo Parish, deputies said in a Facebook post. While waiting for wildlife experts, deputies attempted to contain the gator themselves, but the animal proved too quick for them.
Before escaping, the gator took a huge bite out of a patrol deputy’s car, removing part of the front fender.
