County Code Compliance Official Discovers Alligator In North Carolina Attic – [your]NEWS

In an article for UPI.com, Ben Hooper reports that, “A county code compliance official in North Carolina made a surprising discovery in the attic of a home under construction — an 8-foot alligator. The New Hanover County Government said Dean Brown, a county code compliance official, was inspecting a new home under construction in the Carolina Beach Road area when he encountered the large reptile in the attic. ‘The workers having lunch sitting the next room — I asked them to leave,’ Brown told WWAY-TV. ‘They kind of laughed at me when I told them why, and I said, ‘Well, you might want to look, because there’s an alligator in the attic.” The county government shared a photo of Brown’s discovery on Facebook. Brown said the attic gator was a first for him. ‘You’ll see nothing major, I have seen squirrels, of course, small rodents. Squirrels, probably the biggest ones I’ve seen in the attic. I have seen a gator that was in the yard, kind of sunbathing, back in the ’90s. You know, I really didn’t think much of that. I have run into several snakes,’ he told WECT-TV. The alligator was relocated by animal control officers.”
