An officer captured the reptile by putting a trash can over it. "We don't know where it came from or how long it'd been residing in the airport facilities," Chicago Police spokesman Jose Estrada said. "It's one of those random incidents."
"I was out there, and a passenger had pointed out that there was an alligator up under here," Tineka Walker of Universal Security said "I looked, I said, 'What?'" The gator is now being cared for by the Chicago Herpetological Society. "It was in pretty bad shape," said Jason Hood, the group's president. "We're trying to get it healthy and find a place for it."

He said the gator would likely head to an out-of-state alligator farm once authorities give the organization the all-clear to release the animal. No one was injured. An official with the Chicago Herpetological Society said Chicago that that was very fortunate. "What if a little kid grabbed this, thinking it was a toy? That could do a nasty job," he said.

Two security guards manning their desks. The intercom clicks. A voice yells, "There's a Code 2483 on 2!"
One guard says, "What the hell is a 2483?"
The other guard pulls out a thick book, flips some pages and says, "Here it is. 'Alligator under escalator.'"
