    Mike Dragich, a licensed alligator trapper, said he was called to the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue station because the 8-foot alligator had been living in a pond next to the station and was preventing city workers from checking a meter.

    Dragich, aka the Blue Collar Brawler on social media , ended up pursuing the gator through the station and pulling it out from its hiding place under a fire truck.

    He wrestled with the reptile and held its snout shut with his bare hands until a firefighter could secure it with tape.
