A Florida sheriff’s office says that authorities escorted home an alligator which had gone to a drugstore and a gas station.

The reptile, the sheriff’s office explained, “decided to take a trip to CVS and then a Speedway Gas Station in Brandon before Deputies Lehman, Fluellen and Grikenas along with Master Sergeant Massaro gave him a ride home.”
