A Plant City man had an unexpected visitor Sunday when he opened the front door of his home and saw an alligator on his front porch.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office responded to the home on Partidge Pass at 3:07 p.m. after receiving a 911 call from the resident.

"I live in a mobile home and I've got an alligator at my door," he said. "He's about an eight-footer. He's a good sized one, yeah."

The resident went on to say that he opened the door and saw the alligator right on his front porch.

Deputy Krouse, who responded to the scene, and a licensed trapper were able to wrangle the alligator, which turned out to be about nine and a half feet long.
