The man bolted indoors and called 911.

When San Jacinto County sheriff's deputies responded to his home in the 100 block of Hidden Oaks, they called a local gator wrangler, Stephen Moye, of Livingston. He trapped the alligator alive for relocation.

The alligator was so heavy that a tractor had to be used to load it.
