BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.โ€”Sure, there are lots of alligators in many of the lakes, ponds and rivers here in Berkeley County.

However, itโ€™s not every day you see an alligator walking down a busy road, but for one concerned citizen it was definitely a sight to see.

Not only did he spot the gator, he also unleashed his inner โ€œCrocodile Dundeeโ€ and approached the 4-foot creature on Raritan Road and taped its mouth shut to keep it from harming any animals or people in the area.

He then called the Berkeley Co. Sheriffโ€™s Office for assistance.

Once the officers arrived, they took the gator into โ€œcustodyโ€ and released it on the freshwater side of Busy Park Road.

According to one of the deputies, the alligator was a little wiggly, but they were able to control it.
