Gator busts through kitchen window, breaks bottles of wine

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Authorities said an 11-foot alligator crashed through a kitchen window and broke several bottles of red wine in a Florida home before it was captured.

Police tweeted the gator was removed from Mary Wischhusen’s Clearwater condominium early Friday. No one was injured.

Wischhusen uses a walker. She told news outlets the moment she saw the lumbering reptile, she moved into her bedroom, closed the door and called police.

She said she played computer games while waiting for help to arrive.

Wischhusen said it took two trappers and 10 police officers two hours to get the alligator out of the home, where she has lived for almost four decades.
