OLDSMAR, Fla. -- And some people get jittery about mice in the kitchen.
Authorities say a 69-year-old central Florida woman found an 8-foot alligator prowling in her kitchen Monday night.
Sandra Frosti said the gator must have pushed through a screen door and then went inside through an open sliding glass door at her home. It then apparently strolled through the living room, down a hall and into the kitchen.
A trapper with Animal Capture of Florida removed the alligator.
