A man delivering newspapers at 5 a.m. Monday heard an unusual sound as he got out of his truck to retrieve a misthrown newspaper.
He walked between two parked cars and saw a 4-foot alligator.
"He kind of lunged at me and hissed," said Bobby Kish, 46. "His mouth was open; I was about five feet away. It was enough to get my attention."
Kish jumped back in his car, drove to the Pottstown Borough police station and told the dispatcher, who sent officers to the scene.
Cpl. Jamie O'Neill grabbed the alligator from behind and secured its jaws with duct tape.
The animal was taken in a patrol wagon to the county prison, where it was logged in as "Al E. Gator."

Wuznt me, I ain't the daddy!
Tastes just like chicken. Well, the tail meat does. The rib and jaw meat is a bit tougher and can be stringy. I can say this because in Luzyana we eat a lot of gator.
Gosh, it must have escaped from the zoo. Or maybe a circus passed through town. ;')
