COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. -- Wildlife officials safely captured a 9-foot alligator in a residential area of Golden Gate Thursday morning.

Trapper Ray Simonsen, Cpl. Jerrod Carver from the sheriff's office's Agricultural Unit and Cpl. Edward Costello worked together to get a hold of the 9-ft male alligator so he could be removed.
No one was injured during the wrestling match.
