8-foot alligator invades woman's kitchen in Florida

An eight-foot alligator walked through the living room, down a hall and into the kitchen of a 69-year-old woman before she realized the reptile was in her house and called authorities.

Sandra Frosit, who lives east of Tampa, said she heard a noise coming from the kitchen at about 10:30 p.m. on Monday night.



Frosti said the gator must have pushed through the back porch screen door and gone inside through an open sliding glass door.

A trapper with Animal Capture of Florida removed the alligator, which had been cut when a plate was knocked to the ground. Frost was not injured.
